Exclusive: Wolves closing in on fifth summer signing
Wolves are closing in on their fifth summer signing as negotiations continue.
Wolves are closing in on a deal with Getafe for attacking midfielder Christantus Uche, the Express & Star understands.
The club are still working on signings with a week left of the transfer window, as they aim to bolster Vitor Pereira's squad.
Now, they have moved for 22-year-old Uche and the two clubs are negotiating a fee in the region of £17million.
It is understood there is still some work to do on the personal terms with the player, but that Wolves are hopeful of getting a deal over the line for the Nigerian international, amid competition from other clubs.
Uche can play deeper in midfield or further forward and played in the forward line last weekend, as he scored in Getafe's 2-0 win over Celta Vigo. He also assisted the opening goal in that game.
Getafe play tomorrow night (Monday) and it remains to be seen if Uche will be in the squad.
Uche grew up in Nigeria and moved to Spain in 2022 to play in the lower leagues, before earning a move to the top flight with Getafe last year.
He has so far scored five goals and registered eight assists in 39 games for Getafe.
