Wolves have confirmed the signing of Real Madrid centre-back Jesus Vallejo on a season-long loan deal.

The 22-year-old, who captained Spain to the U21 European Championship title in July, becomes Wolves' first signing of the summer.

Vallejo underwent a medical on Thursday and was at Molineux for Wolves' Europa League win over Crusaders.

The centre-back left Zaragoza to sign for Real Madrid in 2015, and was then sent back on loan to Zaragoza. He also had a loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt.

Wolves captain Conor Coady says new signing Jesus Vallejo 'fits in seamlessly' and shows the direction the club are moving in, by bringing players from Real Madrid.

He made seven appearances for the La Liga club last season, scoring once in their win against Villarreal in May, as he struggled with injuries.real
