00:00Wolverhampton Wanderers left it late on deadline day but secured two key signings just after

00:07midnight, strengthening their squad for the relegation battle ahead.

00:11Midfielder Martial Monezzi joins from Stade de Rheims for £70m, signing a three-and-a-half

00:17year deal. The 28-year-old Zimbabwean had been a key player in Ligue 1, recently earning

00:22a Man of the Match honours in Rheims' 1-1 draw with PSG.

00:26Monezzi's arrival bolsters Wolves' midfield with physicality and experience.

00:31Meanwhile, 22-year-old centre-back Nasser Dajiga arrives from Red Star Belgrade in a

00:36£10m move. These signings will frustrate Wolves' relegation rivals Ipswich Town and

00:42Leicester City, but the club avoided a repeat of the Kevin Danso saga where Spurs swooped

00:47in to hijack a deal for the Austrian defender.

00:51Monezzi's arrival paves the way for Mario Lamina's £3.5m move to Galatasaray, bringing

00:57an unceremonious end to his Wolves career.
