As reported in the Express & Star last week Boly is set to join for £10million after an impressive season on loan from the Portuguese side.

Wolves are understood to have finalised the deal, which is set to be announced shortly.

And now Porto director of communications Francisco Marques has gone on record to say that Wolves have activated the option they put in place at the start of the loan deal to buy Boly.

Portuguese newspaper O Jogo reports today that Marques, talking about the money Porto have received on transfers this summer said: "And 12 million (Euros) from Boly, because Wolverhampton have already activated the option..."
