MusaWolves have made their first signing of the summer in the form of Fer Lopez – and Steve Bull has sent a message to fans about the Spaniard.
Fer Lopez is expected to be the first of a number of new signings for Wanderers this summer as Vitor Pereira looks to strengthen ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
Fans have been pleased with the work Pereira has done at Molineux so far.
But it is now important for Fosun to provide support for the Portuguese. Failure to do so could see Wolves return to their winning ways.
But for now, there is real excitement over Lopez, who has been compared to Riyad Mahrez.
Lopez, who will become Wolves’ ninth most expensive signing, is still relatively inexperienced – and Steve Bull has urged fans to take that into account.
Steve Bull urges patience with Fer Lopez, insists he is not a replacement for Matheus Cunha
Lopes is a big target at Molineux.
The 21-year-old has made a real impression for Celta Vigo after breaking into their first team at the end of last year.
We’ve heard mixed reviews about him, but ultimately it remains to be seen how he adapts.
Steve Bull says he needs to be patient with Lopez – and he’s determined not to replace Cunha.
He told E&S: “The 21-year-old is a young but very talented lad and it remains to be seen what kind of impact he will have on the team straight away.
“He won’t replace Matheus Cunha, but I hope he can develop into that kind of player.
“You don’t want to put too much pressure on him either, because it’s hard to live up to what Cunha has done at this football club.
“Let him settle down, get under the table and hopefully when the season starts we’ll see why Wolves spent the money on him.”
Steve Bull is perfect for Fer Lopez
Wolves will be pleased that Bull has said this, as the club have also wanted to play down any suggestion that Lopez is coming as a replacement for Cunha.
It will be important for him to try and take that pressure off from the start.
He’s signed for a lot of money, so expectations will of course be high.
But he’s still very young and inexperienced, so it’s fair for people to look at Lopez with that in mind.
But I hope he can adapt to the Premier League as soon as possible.
Wolves have done well to bring him in quite quickly and he will certainly benefit from having a full pre-season with his new team-mates.
