Fans of Wolverhampton Wanderers have reacted to the news that Jesus Vallejo will be swapping Molineux for playing on loan with Granada.
According to Marca, the Spanish defender has left the Old Gold and is set to play with the mid-table La Liga side until the end of the season (via Talking Wolves), which had fans wishing him well.
Jesus Vallejo has managed to break his loan agreement with Wolves and will now play with Spanish side Granada for the remainder of the season.

Shame it didn’t work out for him here, he comes across as a really nice guy but just wasn’t at the level we needed. Best of luck to him in his future career ??

Is Jesus Vallejo good enough to have featured more for the Old Gold?No, was out of his depth unfortunately
Yes, he's been a little bit hard done to

During his time on loan with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side, Vallejo made just seven appearances in all competitions and picked up three yellow cards (as per Transfermarkt).
Across those seven appearances, the 23-year-old only managed a weak 6.46/10 average rating (as per WhoScored), although fans continued to bid the Spaniard farewell with no hard feelings.
Didn’t fit us but best wishes to him

What do we think?
As the 23-year-old’s average rating for the season, and many Wolves supporters, suggest Vallejo, who is valued at £9 million (as per Transfermarkt), was not really cut out for the Old Gold just yet.
Having not featured for Nuno Santo’s side since late October (as per Transfermarkt), it is clear that the club also thought along the same lines as the supporters.
