The EFL released a statement yesterday saying they will meet with Wolves' bosses to reiterate rules with regard to third-party ownership.

It comes after rivals clubs raised concerns regarding agent Mendes' dealing with Wolves – a matter discussed at yesterday's monthly EFL board meeting.

Wolves said today: "We are very clear on FA and EFL regulations and always comply with them explicitly.

"We welcome any form of communication with the EFL to reiterate our position and we fully anticipate the release of a further EFL statement in support of Wolves and the club’s operations to bring a prompt resolution to this matter.

The league previously looked into Mendes’s involvement at the club following Fosun’s takeover in July 2016.

The EFL had said yesterday: "At its meeting the EFL board considered at length the matter of the relationship between Wolverhampton Wanderers, majority shareholder of the club, Fosun and Jorge Mendes, in light of the recent concerns raised by a number of clubs.

"It was agreed that the EFL executive will meet with the management of the club to reiterate the requirements of our regulations and those of the FA and will report back to the board in due course.

"It should be noted that the club was explicitly informed in July 2016 of all the requirements it was expected to meet as part of the change of control, and appropriate arrangements were put in place to ensure compliance.

"The club has confirmed that the undertakings given at the time remain in place and are being complied with."
