Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo was in the market for another option at right-back following the sale of Republic of Ireland international Matt Doherty to Tottenham on a four-year-deal.
Semedo is represented by Gestifute, the agency run by Jorge Mendes, who plays a key part in many Wolves’ deals.
Welcome to Wolves, @_nelsonsemedo_!
