Both an incoming and outgoing at Premier League outfit Aston Villa have been confirmed late on Thursday night.
First up comes a fresh departure from Bruno Lage’s squad.
The player to have taken his talents elsewhere ahead of tonight’s fast-approaching transfer deadline? Leander Dendoncker.
As per announcements across the clubs’ respective social media platforms, Belgian international Dendoncker has linked up with Wolves’ Premier League rivals Aston Villa on a permanent basis.
The deal is understood to have set Steven Gerrard’s men back a sum in the region of £13 million.
Four years as part of the pack.
Thanks for all of your efforts, Leander 💛

And Wolves, as alluded to above, have wasted little time in securing a replacement for their now-departed midfield star.
The transfer is expected to come in the form of a season-long loan, featuring an option to buy for €11 million in the summer of 2023.
Traore, in turn, is set to undergo his Wolves medical in short order, ahead of putting pen to paper on a contract with Lage’s troops.
#Wolves are signing Metz midfielder Boubacar Traore. Season long loan with an €11m option. Wolves officials flew out this afternoon and Traore will be undergoing a medical shortly. #wwfc owners Fosun were under scrutiny a few weeks ago but this has been an excellent window tbf
