Wolves are close to signing Portuguese defensive midfielder Manu Silva, 23, in a £10million deal from Vitoria SC.
Vitor Pereira is looking to continue strengthening his side this January to aid their fight for Premier League survival, with Emmanuel Agbadou already arriving from Reims this month.
The defender went straight into the starting XI for the league clash with Newcastle in midweek, having also played against Bristol City in the FA Cup third round at the weekend.
Silva, meanwhile, known as 'Manu', has played 28 times in all competitions for Portuguese side Vitoria SC this season, including in the Conference League.
