Tricky winger with more tricks that a Paul Daniels 1983 magic set.
Will be a very very fouled player.

What do we think?
Wolves are in dire need of cover in attack due to a thin squad (as per Transfermarkt) and both the Premier League and the Europa League to contend with.
As his stats show, with ten direct goal involvements in 27 games for his current club, a deal for Podence could be a shrewd move by the Old Gold.
