Wolves have agreed a £10million deal with Porto for Willy Boly. 

The 27-year-old defender impressed on loan at Molineux last season. He scored three goals in 37 appearances.

The centre-half was a stand-out performer for Nuno Espirito Santo’s team during a season-long loan from Porto.

Wolves triggered an option to sign him permanently ahead of their return to the Premier League next season. 

The French defender was signed in July by his former Porto manager Nuno and was outstanding during his loan spell.

Nuno could return to Porto to sign Yacine Brahimi, according to reports in Portugal.
