Unsettled Wolves defender agrees return to Belgium
Wolves have confirmed a deal has been agreed for defender Jelle van Damme to return to Belgium to join Standard Liege.
Van Damme only moved to Molineux in the summer after agreeing a three-year contract to link up with Wolves from Anderlecht.
However, the 27-year-old revealed that he was struggling to settle back into English football just a couple of months into his Wolves career.
The former Southampton stopper has now secured a deal to join Standard and he is expected to finalise his departure from Wolves later this week.
"We can confirm that we have agreed a deal for the transfer of Jelle van Damme to Standard Liege subject to the paperwork being completed over the next 48 hours," Wolves CEO Jez Moxey told the club's
official website.
"Once the deal goes through Jelle will leave us with immediate effect, but will not be able to play for Standard Liege until the transfer window re-opens on January 1 and international clearance is granted.
"The agreement has been struck in exactly the same way as when we brought Jelle to the club from Anderlecht in June, meaning we receive the entire fee in the same way as we paid it."
Van Damme made six Premier League appearances for Mick McCarthy's side and scored in the 2-1 defeat at Fulham in September.
