Wolves<\/a> have completed their first signing of the summer, confirming the arrival of youngster Leonardo Campana.<\/p>\n

Wolves Sign Youngster Leonardo Campana<\/h2>\n

Highly-Rated<\/h3>\n

Top scouts regard Leonardo Campana well, despite the player making few appearances for his former club Barcelona SC.<\/p>\n

He scored four goals in 21 appearances last season, as Barcelona finished 2nd in Ecuador’s top-flight.<\/p>\n

The 19-year-old also has four appearances for his native Ecuador but is yet to score for the national side.<\/p>\n

Campana will have to earn his place in the Wolves first-team, with Raul Jimenez<\/a> the undisputed first-choice striker.<\/p>\n

Campana Has Been Counting Down the Days<\/h3>\n

Speaking to the Wolves website about his arrival, Campana said<\/a>: \u201cI am very glad to be here, and I am waiting and counting down the days to play at the stadium for the amazing fans that you have.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have been here for just one day, but I have been following the club for a while. I follow their social media, so I know the group and who all the players are.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know they get along really well, and the facilities are amazing, they are beautiful, and I can\u2019t wait to start playing here.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited about the work the team has achieved this season. I know they support each other, their relationship with the manager is a good one and I know all the players get along really well.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the 19-year-old said that he had the desire to work hard and try to earn a place in Nuno Espirito Santo’s side: \u201cMy goal is to earn my place on the pitch and to try to play in every game. I want to do my job, which is to score goals, to play well and be a team player to help the team win \u2013 as that is what we all want to happen.\u201d<\/p>\n
