According to major French newspaper L’Equipe, Angers midfielder Roman Saiss has agreed a four-year contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Wolves have been busy bringing in new signings since the Fosun Group’s takeover of the club, with new manager Walter Zenga bringing in the likes of Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, Silvio, Joao Teixeira, Helder Costa, Prince Oniangue, Ola John and Jon Dadi Bodvarsson.

It’s an exciting time for Wolves fans, and they may have yet another signing on the way in, with another midfielder joining Oniangue in heading from French football to Molineux.
L’Equipe report that Angers star Roman Saiss has agreed terms on a four-year contract to join Wolves, and is on the verge of completing his move to Molineux in the coming days.
General view outside Molineux
Saiss, 26, joined Angers from Le Havre last summer, and played a key role for Angers as they achieved a surprise ninth placed finish in Ligue 1 immediately following promotion to the top flight.
A Moroccan international with caps to his name, Saiss is primarily a holding midfielder who can also fill in at centre back if needed, and has earned praise for his passing range with his superb left foot.

Known as being strong in the tackle and adept at shielding the back four, Saiss could add some real quality to the Wolves midfield, and may form an impressive trio in the middle of the park alongside Oniangue and Teixeira.
It’s claimed that Saiss – who is believed to have attended Tuesday’s clash with Cambridge United – will cost €4m (£3.4m), with Wolves again splashing the cash in their bid to win promotion to the Premier League this season.
