Nigel Lonwijk will reportedly leave Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo celebrates winning the Sky Bet Championship match between Wolverhampton and Brentford at Molineux on January 2, 2018 in Wolverhampton, England.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to complete the signing of PSV defender Nigel Lonwijk with Eindhoven Dagblad reporting that the youngster is on his way to Molineux for a bargain £200,000.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are building an exciting young team in the Black Country with the likes of Pedro Neto, Bruno Jordao, Meritan Shabani and Renat Dadashov all joining over a typically busy summer.

And with less than two months until the January transfer window swings open, it seems that Wolves already have one deal on the verge of completion.

Highly-rated centre-half Lonwijk has reportedly told PSV that he will be on his way out of the Phillips Stadium in the new year. He is expected to sign a ‘multi-year contract’ with Wolves, who will pay around £200,000 for his services.

It has been a miserable couple of weeks for PSV, who have failed to win any of their last six games and followed a 4-0 Europa League thrashing at LASK Linz with a 2-1 defeat at Willem II, another dismal result which has piled the pressure on coach Mark Van Bommel.

And losing Lonwijk, shortly after his brother Justin left for Utrecht, will only add to the frustration.
