Wolves have been linked with a move for the Lille defender Gabriel in the recent weeks.
The Brazilian is apparently a target for Chelsea and Everton as well.
As per Birmingham Mail, Wolves are big admirers of the defender and Nuno wants him to bolster his defensive ranks.
Eurosport journalist Manu Lonjon has now issued an update on the £30m-rated defender’s future. The journalist tweeted that Chelsea are leading the chase and they are close to signing the player.
However, the reliable Mohamed Bouhafsi has claimed that nothing is done yet and several clubs are still in talks to sign the defender.
