Wolverhampton Wanderers completed a second signing in as many days when they secured the services of Brazilian left-back Marcal from Olympique Lyonnais on a two-year deal, the Premier League club announced on Sunday.

Wolves did not disclose the fee paid for the defender but British media reported the English club paid around two million euros ($2.37 million) for the 31-year-old.

Marcal’s signing follows the capture of Portuguese teenager Fabio Silva from Porto on Saturday for a club-record fee that was reported to be around 35 million pounds ($46.50 million).
