Wolves' top scorer for 2017/18 with 18 goals will imminently seal a permanent switch from Atletico Madrid in a £13million deal.

And the 21-year-old can't wait to play in the top flight with Wolves.

"It’s a dream come true, I always watched the Premier League as a kid and I’m really looking forward to it and I’ll do my best," he said.

"I said in my first interview I want to contribute with assists and goals, because that’s what my position requires.

“I know I can have a chance from a few yards or long yards, I have to take advantage from every chance I get to score.

“Fortunately, I was able to participate a good amount of goals, but the most is important is we reached our goal of promotion.

“It was an amazing season, not just for me but for all the club. It was a season we’ll always remember.

“It’s part of the job, when you do things good people notice and try to stop you doing that for their own good, but with our team I think we’re going to make a good season next year.
