Mario Lemina is keen to move to Wolves after Nice rejected a bid for their midfielder.
Wolves are set for a busy January and have moved for Lemina after clinching the loan signing of forward Matheus Cunha from Atletico Madrid.
Though Nice turned down the original offer, a sale is not out of the question and personal terms are not expected to be a problem if Nice do eventually accept.
