Wolves close in on deal for midfielder Mario Lemina

The 29-year-old's current club Nice have been in talks with Wolves over a potential move - which have now advanced ahead of a possible £10 million deal.

The midfielder, who has played 74 times in the Premier League, has been linked with a move to Molineux throughout the window.

And it comes as Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui has insisted his plan to add to the midfield options he has available.

That desire will only grow with the news Boubacar Traore is expected to be out for up to two months after picking up a groin injury.

Lemina would add to Lopetegui's options and bring with him considerable Premier League pedigree.

His career back in France with Lorient before spells with Marseille and Juventus.

Lemina's first Premier League move arrived in 2017 with the Saints - and he then went on to play a further 28 times for Fulham on the back of a loan spell in Turkey with Galatasaray.
