Wolves technical director Scott Sellars said: “Jose is somebody who is very much coming into his peak years as a goalkeeper and has always been high up on our target list.

“He’s aggressive when coming for crosses, he commands his penalty area, has excellent distribution and he’s a very pro-active goalkeeper, and will be an important part in how we want to play under Bruno.”

Jose Sa was a part of the Portugal squad in the recently concluded Euro 2020. The 28-year-old goalkeeper has 15 clean sheets last season and was won the Greek Super League goalkeeper of the year 2020 award.

He is in for another new experience as he will play in the English Premier League as he has signed a long-term contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Portuguese player will look to make the best use of the given opportunities and make his national team debut soon.
