Wolves line up Benfica forward

 

Wolves are poised to sign Ola John on a season-long loan deal from Benfica, according to Dutch newspaper AD, via Football Oranje.

 

John, 24, has spent the last two years out on loan, including last season at Reading, but now looks set to move to Wolves after his proposed deal to Toulouse fell through.

 

Since being taken over by Chinese investors, Wolves have been heavily associated with a number of Benfica players and have already signed Helder Costa and Joao Teixeira on loan.
