# Wolves: Medical tests prepared for Goncalo Guedes

**[Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are ‘preparing medical tests’ for Valencia winger Goncalo Guedes ahead of his move to Molineux, according to reliable journalist Fabrizio Romano.**

### **The Lowdown: Guedes’ arrival**

After Bruno Lage’s side lost their opening game of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) season [2-1 to Leeds United](https://www.skysports.com/football/leeds-vs-wolves/report/464639), news broke that the Old Gold had made their move for the Portugal international.

According to Gols Media journalist [Hector Gomez](https://golsmedia.com/comunidad-valenciana/futbol/primera-division/valencia-cf/fichajes/2022/08/07/valencia-cf-traspasa-guedes-wolves-por-305/), Wolves made a £29.5m offer (inclusive of potential add-ons) for the 25-year-old forward, following on from the club’s first defeat of the 2022/23 campaign.

Sport Italia journalist [Gianluigi Longari](https://twitter.com/Glongari/status/1556042198810087429) then revealed that the player was close to agreeing personal terms with the west Midlands club.

Following the news, Valencia manager [Gennaro Gattuso](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1556032412114731009) was quoted saying: “The club told me they’ve received a huge proposal for Guedes from a Premier League club”.

### **The Latest: Romano’s update**

Romano has shared an update regarding Wolves’ pursuit of Guedes, revealing that a deal in the region of €30m-€32m (£25.3m-£27m) is now approaching its final stages.

Taking to [Twitter](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1556463477237202945) on Monday afternoon, the reliable journalist claimed: “Wolves are preparing medical tests for Gonçalo Guedes to join the club this week. Fee will be around €30/32m plus add-ons, long term contract ready in order to get the deal signed. #WWFC

“Documents are being prepared as Valencia accepted Wolves bid.”

### **The Verdict: Fantastic news**

The arrival of Guedes at Molineux will provide Lage with a pacey winger who carries an almighty attacking threat.

Compared with positional peers across Europe’s top five leagues over the past year, the 25-year-old ranks in the 95th percentile for progressive passes, the 94th percentile for dribbles completed and the 93rd percentile for progressive carries (via [FBRef](https://fbref.com/en/players/e6bc67d7/Goncalo-Guedes)).

He chipped in with [11 goals and six assists](https://fbref.com/en/players/e6bc67d7/Goncalo-Guedes) in La Liga in 2021/22, scoring nearly twice as often as Wolves’ [top scorer](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Archive/England-Wolverhampton) Raul Jimenez in the Premier League, so that influx of goals would surely be welcomed by Lage.

After the news of the 25-year-old’s impending move to Molineux emerged, talkSPORT’s European expert Andy Brassell heaped praise on Wolves’ possible new addition, [stating](https://talksport.com/football/1166384/wolves-transfer-goncalo-guedes-valencia-man-utd-premier-league-news/): “For Wolves I think Guedes will be absolutely fantastic, they need that little bit of extra bang upfront, maybe they could be in a bit of trouble if they’re not scoring goals.

“He’s someone who can play as a striker or as a winger, lightning quick, on his day as good as it gets.”

Therefore, with seemingly only a few minor details needing to be sorted now, Wolves could soon welcome a fantastic signing to Lage’s squad.
