Aston Villa are closing in on a major midfield reinforcement, with Joao Gomes reportedly set to undergo his medical ahead of a move from West Midlands rivals Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Brazilian midfielder has already departed Wolves' pre-season training camp in Portugal to finalise the details of his switch to Villa Park.

Kieran Trippier is considering his future at Wolves just days after agreeing to join the Championship club. The veteran full-back was stunned by the dismissal of Rob Edwards, whose presence played a major role in convincing him to move to Molineux. The sudden managerial change has left the club facing fresh uncertainty.

Wolves have made the stunning decision to sack head coach Rob Edwards, despite the club recently completing high-profile deals for Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez. The move comes as the Midlands club prepares for life in the Championship following a disappointing campaign that saw their eight-year stay in the top flight come to an end.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have completed the shock return of Mexico international Raul Jimenez on a free transfer. The 35-year-old striker, who left Fulham upon the expiry of his contract, has penned a two-year deal at Molineux to join fellow veteran Kieran Trippier. Jimenez is now tasked with firing relegated Wolves back to the top flight amid World Cup preparations.
