New Wolves signing Pablo Sarabia watches the FA Cup tie against Liverpool from the stands at Molineux

Julen Lopetegui expects Spain international Pablo Sarabia to bring a touch of class to Wolves and insists his new signing is 'in a very good moment in his career'.

‌

Wolves announced the capture of 30-year-old winger Sarabia from Paris Saint-Germain yesterday. Wolves will pay PSG an initial £4.5million for Sarabia, who watched Wolves' narrow FA Cup replay defeat to Liverpool last night.

‌

Sarabia will come into contention for Wolves' Premier League match with Manchester City at the weekend after a frustrating end to his stint in Paris. Lopetegui, who coached Sarabia in Spain's youth set-up before a brief stint together at Sevilla, is excited to have brought his compatriot to the Premier League.

“Sarabia is a good player, I know him," said Lopetegui. "He is going to help us to get our main aim, to be out of the relegation in the Premier League. It’s a hard task but we have one player more to help us.

“He’s a good player, an experienced player, a Spanish national team player. He is in a very good moment in his career, he’s very mature and he is going to help us to achieve our aims."
