The £15million deadline day signing from Reims managed 21 goals during his time in France after arriving from South African side Orlando Pirates in 2019.

He could have scored a hat-trick on his Wolves debut in the FA Cup against Blackburn and after an entertaining opening game, Pereira believes the 28-year-old can add a new dynamic to Wolves' midfield.

"He's a player who is a transition midfielder, with the physicality to appear in the box to score and after a few seconds he's in our box defending," the head coach said.

"He has this physicality that we need to be everywhere. He's the kind of player that I appreciate a lot.
