Wolverhampton Wanderers sign AS Monaco defender Ruben Vinagre on loan

AS Monaco defender Ruben Vinagre has moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers on a season-long loan deal.

New head coach Nuno Espirito Santo has made numerous new signings since he was brought in as a replacement for Paul Lambert, and there is little sign that the upheaval at Molineux is about to stop.

Left-back Vinagre is yet to make a first-team appearance for Monaco, but it appears that he has been loaned to the Championship outfit in order to gain first-team experience ahead of a return to the Ligue 1 champions.

The 18-year-old told the club's official website: "I am very happy to come to a big club like Wolves for this season. A new story starts for me here at a club with big aspirations in the Championship.

"I like English football and the Championship and this is the perfect chance for me to get some experience. I am 18 years old and this is a really positive move for me and a good challenge."

Wolves have stated that Vinagre will train with both the first team and the Under-23s.
