Born in Viana do Castelo, Portugal in 1999, Trincão began his career with his hometown club Vianese and eventually moved to Braga where he made his senior debut for their reserve side in Segunda Liga in 2016. He graduated to the club’s senior setup in 2018 and after just 83 minutes in 2018/19, he became a regular in the first team the next year with 27 appearances, notching eight goals and six assists. Barcelona signed the youngster the following season but just three of his 28 appearances were starts and he registered just 683 minutes for the Blaugrana.

The data from his time at Barcelona cannot really be read into too much but his numbers at Braga were impressive. With eight goals and six assists in 1575 minutes, he averaged 0.80 goal involvements per 90 minutes and also averaged 2.63 shots per 90. Comfortable on either wing, Trincão is a proficient dribbler and prefers to drift centrally and shoot rather than roam the touchline. The presence of a large Portuguese contingent at Wolves will no doubt help the youngster settle in and under an attacking manager like Lage he should have plenty of opportunity to flourish. However, he has been priced at 6.5 which is 0.5 more than proven assets from the same team such as Traore so a wait and see approach is suggested for the initial few fixtures.
