Wolves made promising young attacker Fer Lopez their first signing of summer 2025 when the Spaniard joined on a permanent deal from La Liga side Celta Vigo.
Lopez, a left-footed attacking player who can be utilised on the right or in a central role, signed a five-year contract at Molineux and followed Jorgen Strand Larsen in moving from Vigo to Wolverhampton, having broken through at his boyhood club during the 2024/25 season.
The youngster, who only turned 21 the month before signing for Wolves, is a product of the Celta Vigo youth set-up and, having impressed for Gran Pena and Celta B, was given his opportunity after signing a new contract in summer 2024.
Lopez made his senior debut that October in a 5-1 Copa Dey Rey victory over UD San Pedro, while his first goals arrived in the following round against Salamanca CF, as he claimed a brace in another resounding win.
His reward was a La Liga debut three days against RCD Mallorca and, after shaking off a minor injury, he featured in all but two La Liga fixtures from the February.
La Liga goals followed for the Spaniard – the winner in the return Mallorca fixture, following a run from deep, and the opener at home to Villarreal from close range.
With 20 senior Celta Vigo appearances, Lopez returned to the UK, where he previously spent time through education in Suffolk prior, before heading back to Vigo on loan in January 2026.
