Podence leaves Wolves for Saudi Pro League

Wolverhampton Wanderers have sold winger  Daniel Podence to Saudi Pro League side Al-Shabab.

Podence initially joined Wolves from Olympiacos after having previously come through the academy at Sporting.

Last season, the diminutive attacker returned to the Greek seek for a season-long loan but has featured three times for Gary O'Neil's team this season before moving to Al-Shabab for a £5 million fee.

"I’ve got nothing but positive words to say about Danny," the club's sporting director Matt Hobbs said about the departure.

"All my dealings with him have been easy, even when he was in a difficult place, and when people are like that, you want to look after them when it comes to moves.

"This is a life-changing opportunity for Danny and his family and one he leaves for with our best wishes. He’s a great guy and will always receive a warm welcome back to Molineux. Now, we wish him the best of luck at Al-Shabab."
