NUNO MUST WAIT BEFORE HE CAN SIGN UP NEW PAL

Wolves have paused on negotiations to sign sporting lisbon midfielder Joao Palhinha – and that may help rivals CsKA Moscow.

Coach Nuno espirito santo is a big fan of tough-tackling Palhinha (above) as he looks to strengthen his Wolves in time for the new season with another Portuguese import.

But reports in Portugal say Wolves feel they cannot commit to a big-money deal when they don’t yet know the future of key players Raul Jimenez and Ruben Neves. And that could let in CsKA.
