Bruno Lage looks a shrewd replacement for Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves... the former Benfica boss can thrill at Molineux with his love of attacking football, has coached in England before and may help the Portuguese stars reach another level

Bruno Lage is closing in on becoming the new Wolves manager - and the club's supporters will hope he is capable of building on Nuno Espirito Santo's work.

Sportsmail revealed in April that Wolves, in a shocking turn of events, were preparing for life after Nuno, and that Lage was on the shortlist of names to replace him.

It now looks as though he has got the nod from the hierarchy and, judging by his track record, the appointment appears very shrewd indeed.

Bruno Lage is expected to be officially unveiled as Wolves' new manager in the coming days

Lage jetted into England to hold talks with Wolves chairman Jeff Shi and it is just a matter of days until an official announcement is made.
