Jesus Vallejo has explained to AS why he moved to Wolverhampton Wanderers from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window.

The 22-year-old central defender joined Premier League club Wolves on loan from Spanish and European giants Madrid.

The Spaniard has explained his decision to move to Nuno’s team despite having offers from other clubs.

Vallejo told AS: “It was a bit of everything… I wanted to have this experience. I talked to Jonny [Otto] and Adama [Traore], and Real Madrid strongly recommended that I come here.

“They told me that they [Wolves] would further my development and I wanted to go where they felt best. And, of course, Wolves influenced me.

“Nuno [Espírito Santo] called me and told me about the project. It was the club that took more of a chance on me.”
