Wolverhampton have signed Spanish winger Adama Traore for a club-record fee after meeting the £18m release clause in his Middlesbrough contract.

The 22-year-old has signed a five-year contract at Molineux.

Wolves did not provide financial details but British media reports said, the deal to bring the player to Molineux was worth a club record 18 million pounds.

Traore, spent the last two seasons at the Riverside Stadium.

He scored five goals and provided 10 assists in the previous campaign in the second-tier championship to be voted Middlesbrough’s player of the season.

A product of the Barcelona youth system, Traore left the Spanish club in 2015 for a stint with Aston Villa. He then moved to Middlesbrough after a season.

Traore is Wolves coach Nuno Espirito Santo’s fifth recruit of the transfer window.

He follows goalkeeper Rui Patricio, defender Jonny Castro Otto, midfielder Joao Moutinho and forward Raul Jimenez into the club.
