FC Nantes centre-back Bastien Meupiyou is set to undergo a medical with Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of this week.

That’s according to RMC Sport, who say the defender has been booked in for medical checks after an agreement was struck with the French side.

Reports from France earlier today indicated that Wolves had seen a second bid for the defender accepted by the Ligue 1 side after their initial efforts had been turned away.

Those reports made it clear the defender was set to move to Molineux in a €5m deal, which excluded bonuses but a percentage on a future sale.

Nantes had reportedly been reluctant to accept a deal but the player’s refusal to sign a new contract had forced them into a sale and Wolves had gotten their man.

RMC Sport now provide a small update, reporting that Meupiyou is now set for a medical later this week.

They explain that Wolves have put a €5m bid plus a €1m bonus on the table and that was enough to convince their French counterparts into a sale.

He’s now set to undergo a medical at the end of the week before then signing his contract at Molineux and becoming a part of Gary O’Neil’s squad.
