00:00All the Hampton Wunderers have officially parted ways with winger Chiquinho,

00:06who has joined Portuguese side Alverca after a deal was finalised.

00:11The 25-year-old leaves Wolves, having played just 96 minutes in over three and a half years

00:15since arriving from Estoril Parada for just £3 million.

00:19Despite high hopes, Chiquinho failed to make an impact and now seeks to revive his career back in Portugal.

00:26Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano confirmed the move on Wednesday, with Chiquinho agreeing to a three-year contract.

00:34Wolves are not receiving any transfer fee for the winger, but the deal includes a 40% sell-on clause.

00:40This means if Alverca sell him in the future, Wolves will receive 40% of that fee.

00:46While not ideal, this clause offers some hope a return financially could be on the cards.

00:51Chiquinho's time at Molyneux was largely disappointing, especially considering his promising form at Estoril,

00:58where he averaged a goal or assist every 140 minutes in his final season.

01:04A loan spell at Stoke City lasted only a month, and though he scored five goals on loan at Familio in the following season,

01:11success at Wolves never materialised.

01:14Meanwhile, Wolves face uncertainty over captain Nelson Semedo, whose contract has expired.

01:20Despite being offered a lucrative four-year deal, Semedo has yet to commit,

01:24attracting interest from clubs in Spain, Portugal, Turkey and Saudi Arabia.

01:30Losing Semedo would be a major blow, given his importance both on and off the pitch.

01:35It feels inevitable now that he's going to leave the club, and being the captain,

01:38being one of the very few proper leaders in that dressing room, I think he'll be a big miss.

01:42But if Wolves can keep hold of him, I think he'll be one of the most important players in that squad for many years to come.

01:47To strengthen their wide options, Wolves have reportedly made a concrete offer for AS Monaco's winger, Magis Akaluche.

01:56At 23, he's impressed last season with seven goals and seven assists,

02:00and is known for his defensive work rate as well as attacking flair.

02:04However, competition from Nottingham Forest, Arsenal, Tottenham and Bayer Leverkusen mean Wolves will face a tough battle

02:11to secure the Frenchman's signature.
