Lyon 'attempt to hijack Wolves' deal for Flamengo midfielder Joao Gomes', after Julen Lopetegui's side had a £15million agreement in place to sign the Brazilian wonderkid

French side Lyon have made a late attempt to hijack Wolves' move for Flamengo star Joao Gomes, according to reports.

The Premier League outfit believed that a deal was close to completion, after Sportsmail revealed the club had struck a £15million transfer for the midfielder.

However, following last minute interest from the Ligue 1 team, the Brazilian side have been reluctant to conclude a deal until they have sounded out Lyon's offer.
