According to Petter Veland, a reliable Norwegian journalist, Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to secure the signing of former Manchester United flop Bebe.
The Norwegian confirmed it in a tweet early this afternoon.
MARCA: Eibar er i ferd med å miste stopperen Florian Lejeune til Newcastle for €10M. Samtidig er Bebé på vei til Wolverhampton for €1,5-2M.

It translates to say that “Bebe is on his way to Wolverhampton.”
The Midlands club look set to miss out on Croatian U21 star Filip Krovinovic, after it was reported that Benfica have secured a deal for the youngster.
Bebe currently plays for Spanish top flight side Eibar, but the Portuguese star is most well known for his time in England.
In 2010, he signed for Manchester United for a fee believed to be in the region of £7million, and was touted as one of the next big things.
However, he flopped dramatically. He failed to live up to his expectations, playing just two games in his four years at the club.
Instead, he was loaned out to a number of clubs around Europe, including Besiktas, Rio Ave and Pacos de Ferreira.
In 2014, Bebe was sold by the Red Devils, joining Portuguese giants Benfica for £3million.
Yet again at a big club, Bebe failed to make a massive impression, and only appeared one time for Benfica.
Similarly to his spell at Man United, he spent a lot of time out on loan at other clubs.
Bebe spent time in Spain with Cordoba and Rayo Vallecano, before completing a permanent move to Spain where he joined current club Eibar.
And it seems that he is planning another move, this time back to England, where he will play in the Sky Bet Championship for Wolves.
