The 27-year-old Japan international midfielder is due to undergo a medical at Standard Liege later this week and will depart Molineux after 18 months without making an appearance for the club.

Kawabe signed a three-and-a-half year deal when he joined Wolves from Grasshopper Zurich for £500,000 in January last year, becoming the first ever Japanese player on the club’s books.
