Wolves are set to sign Nice midfielder Mario Lemina for a fee believed to be about €11m (£9.7m).
The former Southampton player is scheduled to have a medical on Friday prior to completing the move.
The 29-year-old Gabon international joined Southampton in 2017 and his stint at the club included loan spells at Galatasaray and Fulham.
Lemina joined Nice in 2021 and has made 22 appearances for them this season, scoring once.
Wolves have pledged to bolster new manager Julen Lopetegui’s squad, with up to six new signings expected this month, although not all will be regarded as regular starters.
The club have already brought in forward Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid, whilst other players on their radar include West Ham defender Craig Dawson, Manchester United full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Paris St-Germain’s attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia, who spent last season on loan with Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon.
Wolves are 19th in the Premier League and have a crucial game against fourth-bottom West Ham at Molineux on Saturday.
