Wolves were working on three signings on deadline day before the market shut on Tuesday night.
The Express & Star says Sven Botman wanted to move to Molineux but that Lille were unwilling to let the 21-year-old Dutchman go.
Wolves then suffered another blow in their pursuit of Boubacar Kamara.
The Marseille midfielder only has a year left on his contract and with his boyhood club willing to sell him, Wolves looked likely to land him.
But it is understood the 21-year-old was unwilling to make the move to the Premier League – and his agent even stopped taking phone calls on deadline day as both Wolves and Newcastle chased his signature.
The biggest loss of deadline day, however, was Lille midfielder Renato Sanches.
It is understood that a deal was agreed to bring the Portuguese midfielder in on loan, with a view to a permanent deal, but fell through late on with his medical.
