Biography
Daniel Podence
Daniel Podence adds a creative element to the Wolves front line, with an ability to play wide or centrally.
The Portuguese international moved to Molineux in January 2020 and has gained a reputation for his close control and tricky skills in tight spaces of the final third.
A product of the Sporting CP Academy system, Podence enjoyed his breakthrough at the Lisbon club, having impressed for Sporting B, being handed his senior debut in December 2014 before going on to make 40 appearances ahead of moving to Greece in 2018.
In 18 months at Olympiacos, Podence scored 13 times in 68 games, including two in the Champions League, and helped the club to the league title, despite leaving in the January for Wolves.
While at Molineux, Podence made his senior international debut, and scored impressive goals against the likes of Arsenal and Chelsea.
He was handed even more opportunities in the 2021/22 season, and during his 30 appearances, Podence hit six goals, including the winner against Leicester City, while providing three assists.
During the 2023/24 season, Podence spent time away from Molineux on loan at Olympiacos, where he helped the club to a UEFA Europa Conference League title.
