The Portuguese footballer revealed the happy news on his Instagram page, saying: "After another great season we are delighted to announce we are waiting our first baby."

The 23-year-old, who first started playing for Wolves in 2017, attached a photo of him kissing his girlfriend, with them both holding a pregnancy scan photo.

It comes just days after midfielder Ruben Neves announced he would soon be welcoming baby number three into his family.

The also 23-year-old already has a son and a daughter with wife Debora Laurenco.

Neves wrote on his own Instagram page earlier this week: "Season is over. Proud of everyone. Now enjoy some time with my beautiful family. Baby number three is coming Feb 21."

The message sat alongside a picture of his two children sat on chairs, with a third empty chair showing a sign reading "one more Feb 21".
