Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced the signing of Icelandic winger Jon Dadi Bodvarsson on a three-year deal from FC Kaiserslautern.
The 24-year-old was part of the Iceland squad that made it to the quarter-finals of Euro 2016, starting all five games.

"It's a club with great ambition, a good history and fantastic facilities so, when that all fits in, then it's an easy decision and I'm really, really happy," Bodvarsson told the official Wolves website. "There's been a lot of dialogue between Wolves and Kaiserslautern, so obviously it's been a little chaotic, but the clubs have come to agreement and now I can't wait to start.
"I grew up watching the Premier League and the Championship. English football is very popular in Iceland so it's been a great ambition of mine to play in English football. I like the style of play and there's something about the football that's always attracted me.
"Wolves is a club that I've always known about, I remember watching them in the Premier League. I know what kind of club Wolves is, it's a really attractive club with great and high ambitions. They want to be at the top level, I know it will take time but hopefully we can get there as soon as possible."
Bodvarsson is Wolves' fourth signing under new Chinese owners Fosun International, following the capture of full-back Silvio from Atletico Madrid and the loan signings of Benfica duo Helder Costa and Joao Teixeira.
