Wolves face a late battle to sign £15m Brazilian midfielder Joao Gomes from Flamengo, as Lyon attempt to hijack the deal by offering £2.5m more than the Premier League side

Wolves face a late threat from Lyon in their bid to sign Brazilian youngster Joao Gomes from Flamengo for £15million.

The Premier League outfit believed that a deal was close to completion, after Sportsmail revealed the club had struck a £15million transfer for the midfielder.

French side Lyon, however, are keen to hijack his potential move to the Molineux by offering £2.5million more than Wolves - despite Gomes being in London with his agent.
