German publication Der Speigel took aim at Wolves yesterday as part of the ongoing Football Leaks investigation to suggest the close links between Mendes, Fosun and Wolves were a conflict of interest.

It printed an email allegedly sent by Jeff Shi to an employee of Gestifute, the agency run by Mendes, which reportedly said: "You always know the reason for the investment of Wolves is mainly because of our bet and trust on Jorge.

"Jorge can take Wolves as the most reliable partner and agency revenue source for long long time."

The publication almost made allegations about tax avoidance and an arrangement between Wolves and Mendes to use his players.

Wolves have officially made no comment but Nuno addressed the matter during today's pre-match press conference.

"I'm totally convinced there's no wrongdoing," Nuno said.

"There's no issue on that, lets wait and see but I'm totally convinced

"I don't care about that, I'm not focused on that.

"Football Leaks always brings things out, for me it's not important."
