DONE DEAL: Wolves pair pair Nigel Lonwijk and Theo Corbeanu join Grasshoppers

Young pair Nigel Lonwijk and Theo Corbeanu are leaving Wolves for Swiss sister club Grasshoppers Zurich.

The academy duo are joining Grasshoppers on a season-long loan.

The move for Lonwijk comes after a successful spell at Plymouth Argyle, while Corbeanu was last season with Blackpool and Arminia Bielefeld.

Wolves pathways director Steve Davis said: "We have a support team around the player, and whatever their needs, we try to meet them, so we'll analyse his game and conversations will take place on a regular basis.

“It's a good standard and there are people watching Swiss games. We want them to do well for the club, and push for our first-team, but if not we want them to play at the highest level they possible can, so we hope the loans will be successful for Nigel and Theo."
