In a stunning turn of events, it has been announced that Wolves have secured the signing of Pedro Lima, beating out their Premier League rivals Chelsea in the race for the talented Brazilian. The 18-year-old, who was also a target for Chelsea, has signed a five-year deal with Wolves, with the option for an additional year.
Lima, who made 26 appearances for Palmeiras in his first senior season, has been highly sought after due to his impressive performances for Brazil's youth team in last year's U17 World Cup. In a bold move, Wolves took to social media to announce the signing, taunting Chelsea in the process. The video featured a mock agent's office, with laughter directed at a story suggesting that Chelsea had already agreed to sign Lima.
In the video, the young Brazilian can be seen entering the room and signing his contract with Wolves, much to the delight of the club. Sporting director Matt Hobbs expressed his excitement, stating that there was a lot of competition for Lima, but they had been working on bringing him to Wolves for some time. He also praised the player's ambition and desire to improve, stating that the coaches at Wolves would help him reach his full potential.
Lima's decision to join Wolves over Chelsea is a major coup for the club, and he becomes their fourth signing of the summer. He joins Tommy Doyle, Rodrigo Gomes, and Jorgen Strand Larsen in strengthening the Wolves squad. Hobbs confirmed that Lima ultimately chose Wolves over Chelsea, citing the player's strong character and dedication to football as key factors.
The signing of Lima is a testament to the club's project, which focuses on providing opportunities for young players to develop and grow. Despite facing competition from other clubs with different tools such as location, size, and money, Wolves were able to convince Lima to join based on their project and connection. This signing is a statement of intent from Wolves and is sure to excite fans for the upcoming season.
As the team prepares for pre-season training, Lima's arrival is a much-welcomed addition. It is clear that Wolves have been working on this transfer for a while, and they are delighted to have secured his services. With the support of the club and his new teammates, Lima is eager to get started and showcase his talents on the pitch. With the guidance of experienced players like Nelson Semedo, there is no doubt that Lima will continue to develop and thrive at Wolves.
