Joao Gomes scored his only goal for Wolves last season against Aston Villa [Getty Images]
Wolves midfielder Joao Gomes is poised to join Aston Villa in a deal worth £38m.
The Brazil international has left Wolves' training camp in Portugal and will have a medical on Thursday.
The deal is worth an initial £34m with another £4m in add ons.
Villa need midfield reinforcements after selling Youri Tielemans to Manchester United for £35m and seeing Amadou Onana ruled out until next year with a serious knee injury he suffered with Belgium at the World Cup.
They are also close to completing the signing of Switzerland international Johan Manzambi for a club record fee of over £50m from Freiburg.
Atletico Madrid had been keen on Gomes but did not finalise a deal.
Gomes made 41 appearances for Wolves last season as they finished bottom of the Premier League.
He played 130 times for the club, scoring seven goals, after joining from Flamengo in 2023.
