Wolves linked with Joao Palhinha
Wolves have been linked with a move for Sporting Lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha, according to reports in Portugal.
The 24-year-old is currently on loan at Braga and played in both Europa League games against Nuno Espirito Santo’s side earlier this season.
A defensive midfielder, Palhinha has impressed in 35 outings for Braga this season.
His form meant he was expected to return to Sporting and fight for a first-team place. Now, though, reports in Portuguese paper O Jogo claim Sporting would be willing to sell him for around £13million – and that Wolves are keen.
Palhinha has previously been linked with a move to West Ham, before he joined Braga on loan.
