Wolverhampton Wanderers, Aston Villa keen on signing Faouzi Ghoulam?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly in negotiations with Italian side Napoli to sign left-back Faouzi Ghoulam.

After full-back Jonny suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Wolves' last-16 Europa League win over Olympiacos, the West Midlands club are set to be in the market for a left-back.

Sport Italia reports that negotiations between Wolves and Napoli are in progress and that Ghoulam's agent Jorge Mendes is working on a deal to bring the Algerian to the Premier League.

As well as Wolves, reports claim that Midlands rivals Aston Villa have also made preliminary enquiries over a move for Ghoulam.

Wolves have Portuguese defender Ruben Vinagre as their only senior option at left-back and are hoping to make a signing before the 2020-21 Premier League season begins on September 12.

The 29-year-old, who still has two years left on his contract, only made nine Serie A appearances during the 2019-20 campaign and may look to move this summer to get regular first-team football.
