Aston Villa are set to finalise a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Joao Gomes and are also in talks to sign Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich. The deal for Gomes is to be finalised for a fee of around £35million, while Palhinha spent last season at Tottenham Hotspur and is available to leave Bayern this summer.
Sources with knowledge of the deal, speaking on the condition of anonymity to protect relationships, said Gomes is set to undergo a medical on Friday ahead of a proposed transfer.
