Wolves bid to sign CRIMINAL defender Ruben Semedo, who is serving a five-year suspended prison sentence for robbery, assault, kidnapping and firearms offences and is BANNED from Spain

Wolves are reportedly in 'advanced talks' to sign Portuguese defender Ruben Semedo, who was handed a five-year suspended prison sentence and banned from entering Spain for eight years last July.

The 27-year-old Olympiacos centre back was detained by the Spanish authorities for five months and was later found guilty of a host of offences, including robbery, assault, kidnap and possession of a firearm.

He was arrested in 2018 while playing in Spain after being accused of assaulting and tying up a man in his home before going on to burgle the victim's property along with two others.
