Wolves' Ryan Giles closes in on a £5m move to Luton

Wolves’ Ryan Giles closes in on a £5m move to Luton – with his medical at the Premier League newcomers set for Thursday

  • Ryan Giles set to have a medical as he closes in on move from Wolves to Luton 
  • The 23-year-old left-sided player was on loan at Middlesbrough last season 
  • He’ll join Ruben Neves, Conor Coady and Nathan Collins in leaving Wolves 

Ryan Giles was due to have a medical at Luton on Thursday before completing a £5million move to the Premier League newcomers from Wolves.

The 23-year-old, who can play anywhere on the left flank, developed at Molineux but has made only one first-team appearance, instead having seven different loan spells.

But Luton boss Rob Edwards knows Giles well from his time coaching Wolves’ youngsters and is confident he can make the step up to the top flight. 

Giles spent last season on loan at Middlesbrough and was a key part of the team who reached the play-offs, but Luton’s promotion made them the more attractive option. 

They have already added Tahith Chong, Mads Andersen, Chiedozie Ogbene and Marvelous Nakamba, as well as Issa Kabore on loan from Manchester City.

Giles would be the latest player to depart Wolves this summer as the club look to recoup significant funds from sales to balance the books. 

Ruben Neves’ departure to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal for a club-record £47.5m was the headline departure but Wolves have also sold Nathan Collins to Brentford for £23m, Conor Coady to Wolves for £7.5m and Raul Jimenez to Fulham for £5.5m.

There are likely to be other departures too, with Daniel Podence left out of the travelling squad for the pre-season training camp in Portugal and Jonny Castro Otto and Rayan Ait-Nouri also among the players boss Julen Lopetegui is no longer counting on.

As Lopetegui revealed this week, Wolves chairman Jeff Shi – the representative of owners Fosun Sports Group in Wolverhampton – has put the brakes on summer spending.
