Wolves: Vinagre out, Ait-Nouri in

Wolverhampton Wanderers are close to a fullback change in their team, according to Sky Sports.

Ruben Vinagre appears to be on his way out of the club, being currently in Greece where he is undertaking a medical ahead of a proposed move to Olympiakos. The 21-year-old started only one of the three Premier League games the team have played so far, the shocking 4-0 defeat at the hands of West Ham United. Last season, he mostly played second fiddle to Jonny Oto who is now injured, but boss Nuno Espirito Santo has put 31-year-old Marcal ahead in the pecking order.

Meanwhile, Vinagre’s place in the squad will likely be taken by Rayan Ait-Nouri, a France U-21 international from Angers who is currently having his medical with Wolves. 

Both of these deals have been agreed in the form of a season-long loan with an option to buy. Wolves could sign Ait-Nouri permanently for £20 million next summer. Vinagre could become a full-time Olympiakos player for £22.5m.
