Wolves midfielder Fer Lopez is due to return to Celta Vigo after just seven months at Molineux.

The 21-year-old has travelled to Spain to finalise a loan deal with Wolves keen for him to get game time. There is no option to buy included in the move.

Lopez has struggled to make an impact at Molineux under both former manager Vitor Pereira and replacement Rob Edwards after arriving from Celta, who are seventh in La Liga, for £19.5m in the summer.

He has made 12 appearances in all competitions but only two Premier League starts as Wolves battle at the bottom of the league.

Lopez has started just once under Edwards and was an unused substitute in Saturday's 2-0 defeat at Manchester City.

Wolves are looking to refresh the squad as they plan ahead with the club expected to be relegated to the Championship.

Marshall Munetsi joined Paris FC earlier this month while Leeds' bid of around £33m, with £6m add-ons, for striker Jorgen Strand Larsen has been rejected.
