Wolves complete €5m signing of Pablo Sarabia from PSG

Wolves have agreed the signing of attacking midfielder Pablo Sarabia from Paris St Germain.

The Spain international is set to join on a two-and-a-half-year deal for a fee of €5m. The deal is subject to Sarabia passing a medical on Tuesday.

The 30-year-old has made 14 Ligue 1 appearances for PSG so far this season, all but three off the bench, and also featured in three Champions League games.

He joined PSG from Sevilla in 2019 and was part of Spain's squad for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui had been coy about any new signings at his press conference earlier on Monday, refusing to discuss any incoming transfers ahead of Tuesday's FA Cup replay with Liverpool.

Flamengo midfielder Joao Gomes is also a target, with Wolves having already signed Matheus Cunha on an initial loan from Atletico Madrid.

"We will see, it's true we have interest in some players, but when they are here and our players we can talk about them, not before," said Lopetegui.

"I want to put the focus on our players. We don't want to waste energy on other things. We will talk only about our players."

It remains to be seen how the transfer activity will impact on Republic of Ireland U-21 midfielder Joe Hodge, who has broken into the first team with some regularity in the last few weeks.

Hodge missed a penalty in the Carabao Cup quarter-final shootout against Nottingham Forest last week but has been earning plenty of praise from Lopetegui.

"He's going to grow and improve from this, for sure," the manager said after the Forest game. "He wanted to take a penalty and show his character and this is all."

Aston Villa have reached agreement with Chicago Fire for the transfer of Colombia international Jhon Duran.
