Here are five facts about the reported target…

1) Saiss plays for French side Angers who finished ninth in Ligue 1 last season, and he has one year left on his contract.

2) He is 26-years-old and is predominantly a defensive midfielder, but has also made 10 appearances as a centre-back during his career.

3) Last season he scored twice in 35 appearances for Angers, and picked up 12 bookings.

4) Saiss hails from Morocco and has four international caps. He made his debut in 2013 and won a recall earlier this year for his country’s African Cup of Nations qualifiers, and if selected could miss time from Wolves’ schedule early in 2017.

5) Saiss’ transfer value according to transfermarkt is £3.4 million, which would make him Wolves’ most expensive signing of the summer.
