Wolves are understood to be making headway in their efforts to sign Jordan James from Rennes, with the Molineux club working on a deal for the Wales international.

Ben Jacobs carried the story first, characterising the situation as advancing rather than agreed. The reporting stops short of an accord between the clubs or with the player, and no figures or timetable have been outlined.

What we know so far

James spent last season on loan at Leicester City. The latest indication is that Wolves are moving the process forward, but there is no suggestion yet that personal terms or a fee have been finalised.

In transfer terms, movement of this kind typically points to discussions progressing, while leaving several steps still to complete before a deal can be sealed. Until there is a club-to-club agreement and the player’s terms are settled, the situation remains fluid.

If progress continues, the next stages would usually include concluding the financial framework of the move and agreeing the contract, followed by the routine medical and formal announcement. For now, Wolves’ pursuit appears to be gathering pace, according to the report.
