The Telegraph report Wolves will kick off their summer plans by signing both Benik Afobe and Willy Boly permanently.

The report claims Wolves will pay a combined £20 million split evenly to Bournemouth and Porto.

It is claimed that the moves for the striker and centre-back will begin a summer of ‘significant’ spending.

A separate report in The Mail claims: “The recruitment team at Molineux are on the look-out for a goalkeeper, full-back, central defender, central midfielder, and striker.”

Wolves have clinched promotion to the Premier League as Championship winners after a terrific campaign under manager Nuno Santo who was appointed only last summer.

The Wolves board proved their ambition last summer by signing Ruben Neves from Porto and he played a key role in their promotion campaign.

A priority after Afobe and Boly will be to finalise Diogo Jota’s permanent switch from Atletico Madrid, although that looks to be a formality.
