Fulham have convinced Steve Sidwell to join them, stunning Wolves who were sure they had won the race to sign the midfielder.
The 28-year-old was at Molineux on Wednesday to see Wolves beat Chelsea ahead of a potential loan move.
But Sidwell, who was also wanted by West Ham, has since been swayed by Fulham's promise of a permanent deal, believed to be a two-and-a-half year contract.
Fulham, who host Peterborough in the FA Cup tomorrow, just need to agree a fee with Aston Villa, but it should be no more than £2million as Sidwell is out of contract in the summer.
The player is understood to prefer a move back south as his family home is in Surrey.
