Wolves facing missing out on AZ Alkmaar winger Jeremain Lens.

Mick McCarthy, the Wolves manager, made a personal check on Lens in AZ's friendly at Celtic last week.

Wigan, Newcastle United, Sunderland and Fulham were also tracking the Holland World Cup hopeful, but PSV Eindhoven are closing in after agreeing a fee for the £5million-rated 22-year-old.

"Both sides have talked about the transfer fee and the last thing I heard was that they had come to an agreement," said Lens.

"Then I have to reach an agreement with PSV. Until Sunday, myself and AZ were focused on competition and now I will deal with the transfer."
