Carlos Vinicius
Wolverhampton Wanderers favourites to sign Brazilian star with 13 goal contributions this season
Wolverhampton Wanderers are confident of signing Tottenham Hotspur loanee Carlos Vinicius in a part-exchange deal this summer, Football Insider reports. Vinicius joined Spurs on a season-long loan from Benfica last summer with the option to buy for around £36 million at the end of the campaign.

Predicted Spurs starting XI: Mourinho to make seven changes; 23-year-old to start

They are heading into this game on the back of a 3-0 defeat against Manchester City, and desperately need a win to get their season back on track. Sergio Reguilon, S...
