Wolves fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club announced the signing of Jose Sa from Olympiakos.
What’s the story?
Well, just a couple of days after Rui Patricio joined Roma, Wolves have already found a replacement for the 97-cap Portugal international.
Sa – who is, unsurprisingly, Portuguese as well – arrives at Molineux in a deal worth £6.8m.
The 28-year-old lands in the Midlands with plenty of top-level experience under his belt.
Sa has made 17 appearances in the Champions League and 14 in the Europa League.
The shot-stopper has also won numerous trophies with Olympiakos, and was named as the Greek Super League Goalkeeper of the Year in 2020.

Incredible business by Wolves
Admittedly, Patricio was a fantastic goalkeeper who rarely let Wolves down.
However, Bruno Lage’s side have done incredibly well with this deal.
Wolves have sold a 33-year-old for £9.8m, and used the money to buy a replacement who is five years younger.
Sa was also £3m cheaper.
It’s a superb deal for Wolves in more ways than one.
Let’s see how the Wolves fans on Twitter reacted to the club’s announcement…

Admittedly don’t know a great deal about him but the panic amongst the Olympiakos fans when he was ruled out of the second leg against us would suggest he has something about him https://t.co/zhHOlpYAKL

Probably a huge bowl of ignorance, but isn't this quite a significant downgrade on Patricio? Not trying to start a fight here, but Patricio has 97 matches for Portugal, yet this guy has none and didn't even get to be one of the three going to the Euros?🤷🏻♂️ https://t.co/K6zY2DntPg
