Wolves are talking with Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko today in a bid to convince him to join them after a £16million fee was agreed for the versatile Ukrainian in principle earlier in the summer.

Newly-promoted Wolves reached an agreement with City over a month ago and are now attempting to convince Zinchenko to swap life with the Premier League champions for Molineux.

Zinchenko impressed as a makeshift left back last season when first and second-choice options Benjamin Mendy and Fabian Delph went down with injuries.

But despite the encouraging displays, the 21-year-old remains on the periphery of Pep Guardiola's squad and City are willing to sell for £16m.

Wolves completed the signing of Adama Traore from Middlesbrough for a club-record £20m on Wednesday as they continue to enjoy a fruitful summer window.

The likes of Rui Patricio and Joao Moutino have already joined while loanees Willy Boly and Diogo Jota completed permanent switches this summer.

Wolves were also interested in Swansea midfielder Sam Clucas, who saw a deal to Burnley collapse this week, but that transfer now looks unlikely.

Wolves finished top of the Championship table last campaign by nine points ahead of fellow promotion-winners Cardiff in second place with Fulham earning promotion via the play-offs.

Nuno Espirito Santo's side will open their Premier League campaign at home to Everton on Saturday evening as they return to top flight action for the first time since suffering relegation in 2012-13.
