Liverpool reportedly close to agreeing deal with 25-year-old star, club looking to offload
Liverpool are reportedly close to agreeing a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adam Traore.

In fact, they are very close to securing his deal. Last summer, Wolves wanted £70 million for him, but his value has dropped considerably. He could now be available ...
Leicester and Wolves linked with a move for 28-yr-old La Liga player
Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers have been linked with a move for the Portuguese international William Carvalho. The defensive midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League for years now and it will be interesting to see if either of the Premier League sides come forward with a concrete offer for the midfielder this summer. Leicester already have a quality defensive midfielder in Wilfred Ndidi and Wolves would probably be a better fit for Carvalho. Wolves have quite a few Portuguese players on their books and they could help Carvalho settle in quickly. According to Estadio Deportivo (translated by Sportwitness), Real Betis are under financial stress right now and they could look to sell the midfielder this summer. The Portuguese defensive midfielder is unlikel...

Arsenal receive positive Martin Odegaard update after ankle injury scare
Arsenal have been left breathing a huge sigh of relief after it was confirmed that the injury suffered by Martin Odegaard while on international duty is not serious. Gunners fans were left concerned on Wednesday night after the in-form Real Madrid loanee appeared to painfully roll his ankle before being substituted at half-time of Norway’s 3-0 World Cup qualifying win against Gibraltar. The absence of Odegaard for any extended period of time would have come as a sizable blow to Arsenal, with the 22-year-old having grown in influence since moving to north London in January and played a critical role in Sunday’s comeback draw against London rivals West Ham, afterwards attracting effusive praise from manager Mikel Arteta. But not only does it seem that Odegaard is now unlikely to miss key upc...

Premier League trio and La Liga club chasing Liverpool man
Liverpool striker Divock Origi has been linked to several different clubs by Spanish outlet El Gol Digital. Origi came to Liverpool in the summer transfer window of 2014 from Lille, off the back of an impressive display as a substitute for Belgium at the World Cup. Since then, he has made 157 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, scoring 35 goals – most of them off the bench. The height of his career came during the 2018/19 season when he made himself an unlikely hero at Anfield. He scored several important goals throughout the campaign, including a last gasp winner in the Merseyside derby against Everton, a brace in the Champions League second leg comeback against Barcelona, and the second in a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League final.

Predicted Liverpool starting XI: Klopp to make just one change; 26-year-old to start
Liverpool will travel to Molineux to face Wolves in the Premier League on Monday night. After earning a morale-boosting 2-0 win over RB Leipzig (and an aggregate 4-0), the Reds will be looking to translate that form in the Premier League. Jurgen Klopp’s side have been very disappointing in the league, but they can still turn it around by putting up a string of wins. The Reds have picked up just one win from their last seven Premier League games, losing six times at their home turf, Anfield. Klopp admitted in the press conference that progressing in the Champions League can help them regain their confidence, and they will be encouraged by the return of Fabinho in midfield. Roberto Firmino – who missed the game against RB Leipzig – could return against Wolves, while there are no fresh injury...

Wolverhampton Wanderers could sign 28-year-old Spanish midfielder for only £4.3m
Wolverhampton Wanderers could sign Schalke 04 captain Omar Mascarell on a cut-price deal when the transfer window reopens, AS reports. The 28-year-old has been contracted to the Bundesliga outfit since 2018, but he appears on his way out with the club destined for relegation.

Wolves are mentioned as one of the admirers of the former Real Madrid graduate, and it is reported that he could be available for around £4.3 million. Sportslens view: Wolves currently have thr...
