Wolves defender Ryan Giles is due for a medical at Luton today ahead of a £5million switch.

The 23-year-old did not travel with Wolves to Portugal a week ago amid interest from Middlesbrough and Luton.

Since then, Rob Edwards’ Luton have been negotiating with Wolves over the final fee, and an agreement has now been reached for £5million.

Giles is now set to have his medical today, as the move edges closer. He is now likely to play against Wolves in a friendly on August 2, when Luton visit Molineux.

The defender, who impressed on loan at Middlesbrough last season and spent some time training with Wolves this summer, will be the latest Molineux departure after Raul Jimenez’s move to Fulham was made official on Tuesday evening.

Daniel Podence is expected to follow Giles out of the door after he also did not travel to Portugal and stayed at Compton to train alone.

Spanish side Real Betis have previously made their interest known in signing Podence.

Jonny Castro Otto is also likely to leave, despite travelling with Wolves for their pre-season training camp.

The defender did not play in either friendlies against Porto and Manchester City’s academy, but has been training with the group as normal.

As usual, I’m willing to accept nominations, from the readership, for anyone not covered so far.

Therefore, if you would like a certain player covered, just drop me a comment in the facility beneath this article.

Please be aware though that there is still half a dozen in the locker waiting to be covered, so any nominations may take a week or two to be published.

I try to run a ‘legends’ article when there are gaps in news breaking, but at least one, or two a week.

I’m always thankful for any comments posted on any of the legends’ articles, whether they be congratulatory or critical, I have a thick skin.

But earlier this week, following the latest in the series, featuring – Alan Slough.

I was absolutely delighted to receive the following in the comment facility:

“Thank you for this lovely tribute to my husband. My family and I miss him dreadfully, but it means a lot to us all to read well deserved comments about Alan. He will always be remembered as a totally committed talented player who gave 100% to the game. Thank you, Anne Slough.”

To say it made my day is an understatement, it made all those hours, over the years I’ve spent editing and running this site, worthwhile. I felt very humbled and very appreciative of all those that frequent the site to read my scribings.
