Wolves poised to sign Slawomir Peszko

Wolves were today hoping to announce the signing of Poland international midfielder Slawomir Peszko on a season-long loan.

Manager Stale Solbakken has moved quickly to fill the void created by the pending departure of Michael Kightly by agreeing a move for the 27-year-old Cologne midfielder or right winger.

Wolves have confirmed Peszko, who has 24 caps, underwent a medical at Compton yesterday afternoon and that talks have been held with Cologne with a view to completing a loan deal.

But the signing of Peszko, who arrived in England on Saturday, is understood to hinge on the £3m sale of Kightly to Stoke. Kightly had his final training session at Compton yesterday and said his farewells but still has to agree personal terms and pass a medical with the Potteries club.

Peszko, 27, was signed by Cologne in January 2011, just four months before Solbakken was appointed at the Bundesliga club.

A previous medical, prior to his signing for the German club, revealed Peszko has four kidneys. But the unusual condition hasn't affected his football.

He has scored twice in 42 games for Cologne, including 32 appearances in their relegation from the Bundesliga last term.
