As we reported last week, both Wolves and Charlton are interested in taking the unwanted French midfielder on loan from the Magpies.
And Football League World claim that Wolves are confident that they are leading the race to sign him.
Steve McClaren is willing to let the Frenchman go after handing him just 65 minutes of Premier League football over two appearances so far this season.
United have until November 25 to loan Gouffran and any other unwanted players out until the new year, before the loan window shuts.
