Ivan Cavaleiro is closing in on a transfer to Wolves, with Goal France reporting he has already flown to England and completed his medical with the club.

The 22-year-old is joining from Monaco, where he signed last summer from Benfica for £13 million.

He did not settle at the Ligue 1 club as he would have liked, and is available for transfer this summer.

Cavaleiro is represented by agent Jorge Mendes, who helped new Wolves owners Fosun International with their takeover of the club, and have already helped the Championship side close several deals this summer.

The prospect can play out wide or up front and has represented Portugal at senior level as well as featuring regularly for the under-21s.

The move will show the pulling power Wolves, or their new owners and contacts have, with Cavaleiro being highly sought after last summer.

Whether he can adapt to the Championship is another matter, but alongside his old Benfica pals Joao Teixeira, Ola John and Helder Costa, he has every chance of success at Molineux.
