Premier League clubs are planning urgent talks over Wolverhampton Wanderers’ imminent return to the world’s richest league amid concerns over their relationship with agent Jorge Mendes.

The Daily Telegraph can reveal that several top-flight teams want to discuss Mendes’ business links to Wolves owners Fosun at their quarterly shareholders meeting on Friday after claims it represents a conflict of interest for the super-agent.

So-called ‘Big Six’ and smaller clubs alike are said by more than one source to fear that Mendes’ relationship with the Midlanders could give them an unfair advantage in the transfer market, as it is alleged to have done during their march towards promotion.

Since Wolves were taken over by Fosun International in July 2016 – months after a subsidiary of the Chinese conglomerate bought a 20 per cent stake in Mendes’s Gestifute agency – they have signed several of the Portuguese’s clients.

They include manager Nuno Espirito Santo and Championship record signing Ruben Neves, who scored one of the goals of the season against Derby County on Wednesday to move the club one win from ending their six-year Premier-League exile.
