Wolves are hopeful Julen Lopetegui will formally take over as their new manager on November 13 as they seek to finalise the details of his appointment.
After twice being turned down by the Spaniard, first in 2016 and again last month, Wolves are increasingly confident of making it third time lucky after reviving talks.
Though they could announce the capture of Lopetegui before then, Sportsmail understands he is not due in England until the day after Wolves’ home game against Arsenal – their final fixture before the Premier League pauses for the World Cup.
