David Wang: Wolves sign Spanish teenager and loan him to Sporting Lisbon
Wolves have signed winger David Wang from Spanish fourth-tier outfit Jumilla B – and have immediately loaned the 18-year-old to Sporting Lisbon.
The Spaniard has joined Wolves on a four-and-a-half-year deal but will remain at Sporting until the end of the season.
Wolves say he is expected to play for the Portuguese side’s B team this season.
Wang had made 16 appearances for Jumilla B this campaign.

Wolves’ frustrating summer continues, with only Tom King and Matt Doherty arriving at Molineux on free transfers so far.
There are just a couple of weeks to go now until the new season begins.
It is very much looking like new players will be arriving late in the window for Wolves.
Seemingly the club are still trying to make some sales in order to be in a position to fund some incomings.
And this plan has now seemingly caused Wolves to miss out on a player.
Youssef Chermiti set to join Everton after Wolves showed interest
According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, Chermiti has reached an agreement in principle to join Everton.
Apparently a deal is now in place between the two clubs.
The Daily Mail have also reported on the story, saying that there are only a few details that need to be finalised. A deal was apparently agreed on Sunday.
Interestingly, they also mention that Wolves had held an interest in the 19-year-old, as did Bournemouth.
Chermiti is set to become the third signing of the summer at Goodison Park after Ashley Young and Arnaut Danjuma.
Portuguese outlet ZeroZero are claiming that the agreement is around £13 million.
Frustration for Wolves – but Fabio Silva looks like he could be good to go
Seemingly Wolves were never really in a position to sign Chermiti.
It seems like there was only interest from the club and no official approaches or bids were made.
But this is probably not too much of a blow for Wanderers.
Wolves already have a young striker in their ranks in Fabio Silva, who has looked lively in pre-season since he came back into the squad.
Wolves also have Sasa Kalajdzic and Matheus Cunha who can operate as centre-forwards. As can Hwang Hee-chan.
That said, it will be interesting to see how he gets in with Everton, who like Wolves really struggled to score goals last season.
