Wolves sign Welsh international Jordan James on loan from Rennes | OneFootball

Wolves have completed the season-long loan of midfielder Jordan James from Rennes, making him their fourth signing of the summer.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Wolves have paid just under £1.3 million for the loan and hold an option to buy at just under £8.6 million. The potential package is around £10 million after they beat several Championship sides to his signature.

The 22-year-old was last season’s Championship young player of the season following a loan at Leicester, where he scored 11 goals in 34 games.

Born in Hereford, he came through Birmingham’s academy and made his senior debut at 17, before moving to France in 2024.

Executive chairman Nathan Shi said Wolves had prioritised hungry signings and that James believes in the project. He described the homegrown midfielder as a top target who knows the Championship well.

Head coach Cesar Peixoto views James as a box-to-box midfielder with quality who fits his system and can cover multiple roles. He added that his recent experience should aid a quick adaptation and that the addition increases options to improve the team this season.
