Wolves have agreed a £5m fee with Monaco for midfielder Joao Moutinho, Sky Sports News understands.

The 31-year-old Portugal international will reportedly sign a two-year deal with the newly-promoted side.

Moutinho's agent is Jorge Mendes, who has close links with Wolves.

The vastly experienced playmaker, the third most-capped player in his country's history with 113 appearances, arrived in Wolverhampton on Tuesday to finalise his move.

He is set to join a number of Portuguese players already at Molineux, including Diogo Jota, Ruben Neves, Ruben Vinagre and new goalkeeper Rui Patricio.

Moutinho has made more than 600 club appearances, including more than 100 in either the Champions League or Europa League.
