Wolverhampton Wanderers attacking midfielder Diogo Jota has told Express & Star that Rafa Mir will be a good signing for the club.

Mir has joined Championship club Wolves from Spanish outfit Valencia in the January transfer window.

According to The Mirror, the Wanderers had to pay Valencia a transfer fee of £2 million in order to secure the services of the 20-year-old forward.

Jota, who joined Wolves on a season-long loan deal from La Liga club Atletico Madrid in the summer of 2017, has backed Mir to be a success at the Molineux Stadium.

“He’s trying to adapt himself, he’s very young also and he’s outside of Spain for the first time,” Jota, 21, told Express & Star about Mir.

“With our help to show his game in matches. We are doing our best, we talk similar language and it will be easy. He’ll be a good signing for us.”

Mir has arrived at Wolves with a strong reputation, and given his obvious talent and very young age, he promises to be a long-term success for the Wanderers.

The youngster has played just 29 minutes of Championship football for Wolves so far, and his performance has been encouraging.

It could take the forward a while to settle into life at Wolves completely, but there is no doubt that he can be a long-term success at the Wanderers.
