Football

Wolves hope to be given the go-ahead to complete the pounds 300,000 signing of the South African international striker, Mark Williams, next week. The First Division club have been fighting a red tape battle to secure a work permit for the 28-year-old after agreeing a deal with Williams' Belgian club, RWD Molenbeek.

Eintracht Frankfurt's German international midfielder Maurizio Gaudino, who spent the second half of last season on loan at Manchester City, has been loaned out to Mexican side, America.

TRANSFER TRIBUNAL FEE: Michael Johnson (defender) Birmingham to Notts County (pounds 225,000 plus increments).
