Wolverhampton Wanderers have been cleared by the Football League over their close relationship with “super-agent” Jorge Mendes.

The EFL has concluded that Wolves have not broken any regulations despite their link-up with Mendes, insisting he does not hold any official role at the Championship title winners.

Telegraph Sport revealed in March how a number of Wolves' promotion rivals, including Leeds, Aston Villa and Derby, voiced their concerns to the EFL over Mendes' association with the club, claiming they breached regulations on third-party ownership.

Mendes is the agent of head coach Nuno Espirito Santo, £15m signing Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota and Ivan Cavaleiro, and also has a long association with Wolves owners Fosun International.

But the EFL has now finished their investigation and are satisfied that Mendes does not have to complete the Owners’ and Directors Test.

Wolves clinched their return to the Premier League on April 15 and have always insisted they are satisfied with Mendes' role.
