The 21-year-old Sporting Lisbon academy product, who has scored three times for the Primeira Liga side this season – has signed a four-year contract at Molineux.

The wide man, who can play on either wing, made his professional debut for Estoril two years ago – helping the side to promotion into Portugal’s top division.

Wolves’ technical director, Scott Sellars, is hopeful the youngster, who has been capped for Portugal at under 21 level, can become the latest young talent to achieve great things at the club.

He said: “Chiquinho is a young, exciting, and talented player who has been performing very well in the Portuguese leagues during the past few seasons, and if he keeps progressing the way he has, we believe he can develop into an excellent signing.

“We’ve brought a lot of gifted youngsters from Portugal during the past five years, and many of those have gone on to further their careers and achieve great things here, and we hope the same will happen with Chiquinho.

“With all young players, we have to be patient as he’s got to get used to playing in a new country and environment.
