Wolves have agreed to a €25 million transfer agreement.

Wolves are closing in on the acquisition of Andre from Fluminense, with the midfielder scheduled to have a medical at Molineux.

Gary O'Neil's team has agreed to sign the Brazil international for €25 million (£21 million) plus add-ons, with Andre due to go to England to complete his move to the Premier League.

The purchase is a record for Fluminense and will be viewed as a coup for Wolves, given interest in the 23-year-old from some of Europe's elite clubs. Manchester United and Liverpool have kept an eye on him, and Fulham has been heavily linked with a move for the midfielder in recent months.

Personal terms have been agreed, and Andre will become Wolves' sixth signing of the summer window. His presence will be a welcome boost for O'Neil, given his team's openness in their 6-2 defeat to Chelsea last weekend.

Following the sales of Max Kilman (£40 million) to West Ham United and Pedro Neto (£54 million) to Chelsea, O'Neil indicated that Wolves would not conduct any additional activity.

Andre, on the other hand, appears to be on his way to Molineux before Friday's Premier League transfer deadline, where he will join colleagues Matheus Cunha and Joao Gomes from Brazil.

Who did Wolves sign Andre?

Andre is a defensive midfielder who rose through the ranks at Fluminense to become one of South America's hottest properties.

In 2021, he was voted the Best Newcomer in the Campeonato Brasileiro Série A, and in 2022, he made the Team of the Season. Last year, he played an important role in the club's first Copa Libertadores win.

He has five senior caps for Brazil after making his debut with the Selecao in 2023.

The Final Verdict: Chelsea's 2017 Title Will Not Be Revoked by the FA or Premier League.

The persistent online rumour that Chelsea’s 2017 Premier League title could be revoked by the Football Association or the Premier League has no basis in fact, procedure or precedent. There has never been an investigation, charge, hearing or ruling that would justify removing the trophy from the club’s history. The 2016–17 season remains an officially recognised championship, recorded in every league archive, statistical database and historical record. Chelsea won the title fairly, under the rules that applied at the time, and no governing body has ever suggested otherwise. This conclusion is not speculation. It is based on how the Premier League operates, how disciplinary processes work and how football authorities protect the integrity of historical results. A title cannot be removed without clear evidence of a breach that directly affected the competition, and even then, only after a formal independent process. No such process exists for Chelsea’s 2017 campaign, and no official state...

The Evolution of VAR Technology: What Went Wrong in the Manchester Derby and How It Can Be Improved.

The introduction of the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) was meant to eliminate clear and obvious errors, increase fairness and restore confidence in officiating. Instead, high-profile matches like the Manchester derby have shown how the technology can create more controversy than clarity. In recent encounters between Manchester United and Manchester City, VAR interventions have sparked debates about consistency, communication and the very definition of a “clear and obvious” mistake. These moments reveal not just isolated refereeing errors, but systemic issues in how VAR is implemented, interpreted and explained to supporters inside stadiums and watching at home. The problem is no longer whether VAR should exist. The technology is here to stay. The real question is how it can evolve to fulfil its original promise without undermining the flow, emotion and human element that make football compelling. Recent derbies suggest that improvements are needed in three key areas: the standard for in...

EFL Cup Third Round: Must-Watch Premier League Showdowns This September.

The EFL Cup third round always feels like the moment the competition truly comes alive. This is when Europe’s elite finally step onto the stage, when Premier League giants face lower-league opposition and when the possibility of a giant-killing adds genuine drama to midweek football. September 2026 delivers one of the most compelling third-round line-ups in recent memory, with multiple all-Premier League clashes, historic rivalries renewed and several ties that could produce memorable moments.

The most intriguing Euro 2024 quarter-final ties are listed.

It seems like only a few days ago when fans around the continent sat down to watch Germany thrash Scotland in the opening match, but the quarter-final stage of Euro 2024 is already just around the corner. This summer's tournament has delivered amazing moments and some significant scalps, but none of the competition's minnows have made it to the last eight. Instead, Europe's major boys have all advanced, with the exception of incumbent champions Italy, who were eliminated in the final 16. Not all of the continent's titans have realized their full potential in Germany, but if they want to raise the Henri Delaunay Cup on July 14, they must rediscover their mojo soon. Here are the four quarter-final ties of Euro 2024, evaluated by how entertaining they will be to watch. 4. England vs Switzerland England is the least exciting team to watch at Euro 2024. Gareth Southgate's side has been very poor, especially considering the talent available. There has been little to sug...
