English Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers have confirmed the signing of forward Ivan Cavaleiro from Monaco for a club record fee, believed to be in the region of £7m.
The 22-year-old has put pen-to-paper to a five-year contract at the club with the option of extending it for a further year when the deal expires in 2021.
Cavaleiro is a versatile player who can play both as an attacker as well as a winger and joins compatriots Silvio, Helder Costa and Joao Teixeira at the Championship club.
The Portuguese international came through Benfica's youth academy, going on to play a total of 20 matches for the side, scoring a lone goal and setting up one more for his team-mates before leaving them in 2015.
He has since been at French side Monaco and has played a total of 22 matches for the Ligue 1 side, scoring three goals.
