Wolves swooped for Lima earlier this month and agreed terms with Sport Recife, pipping Chelsea to his signature. Wolves’ most recent signing from Brazil, Joao Gomes, has become an integral part of the first XI since arriving from Flamengo 18 months ago. Lima will become the club’s second signing of the transfer window, following the £12.7m capture of winger Rodrigo Gomes from Braga. Negotiations with Celta Vigo over a £25m deal for the Norway international striker have continued into the weekend. Wolves are also anticipating further bids for captain Max Kilman with West Ham and Newcastle having both had offers rejected this month.
