One player hoping for a fresh start to his Wolves career this season is young Spanish forward Fer Lopez.

The 22-year-old joined from Celta Vigo last summer for £19m but after only two starts and seven other Premier League appearances from the bench at the start of last season, he returned to his home country - and former club - on loan in the hope of getting more first-team action.

After playing 17 times in La Liga, and scoring one goal, Lopez is back at Molineux hoping for more opportunity - this time in the Championship - under new head coach Cesar Peixoto.

He told BBC Radio WM after the club's latest pre-season friendly - a 2-0 win at Doncaster - he is ready to make the most of his chance back in England.
