Wolves close to signing Nice midfielder Mario Lemina

Wolves are set to sign Nice midfielder Mario Lemina for a fee believed to be about €11m (£9.7m).

The former Southampton player is scheduled to have a medical on Friday prior to completing the move.

The 29-year-old Gabon international joined Southampton in 2017 and his stint at the club included loan spells at Galatasaray and Fulham.

Lemina joined Nice in 2021 and has made 22 appearances for them this season, scoring once.

Wolves have pledged to bolster new manager Julen Lopetegui's squad, with up to six new signings expected this month, although not all will be regarded as regular starters.
