# Wolves edging closer to deal for Oleksandr Zinchenko

**Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to continue their transfer business as they enter the final day of the window.**

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have already made a number of quality additions as they prepare for their first season back in the Premier League in six years.

The former Porto manager has brought a Portuguese contingent to Molineux this summer, with the likes of Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio already joining the club, however, he could be about to bring a young talent that has already experienced top-flight football to the club.

## The Verdict:

Zinchenko should prove to be an excellent addition for Wolves this summer as he will immediately improve the side.

The Ukrainian was a playmaker in his days prior to joining Manchester City, however, Pep Guardiola has added the ability to play full-back to the 21-year-old’s repository.

Zinchenko is expected to have a bright future in the game and Wolves will be delighted to have landed the Premier League winner after a lengthy pursuit.
