Wolves receive boost in their pursuit of Man Utd-linked forward, Nuno almost signed him last summer

Wolves tried to sign Danny Loader from Reading last summer. According to Birmingham Mail, the Premier League side have now been given the green light to sign the player this summer. Reading are prepared to sell him and Manchester United are interested as well. It will be interesting to see if Wolves can get their man this time. They were very close to signing him last summer. The 19-year-old even agreed terms with Wolves before the move collapsed. Wolves have an exciting project and that should appeal to Loader. There is no reason why they cannot sign the player in the coming weeks. Furthermore, Wolves have a good chance of playing in Europe next season and Loader will be tempted to be a part of Nuno’s group. The Molineux outfit should look to move quickly and secure the transfer. If Manch...

Report: 24 year old on his way to England this summer, expected to sign for Wolves

Wolves have been linked with Joao Palhinha in the recent weeks. Now A Bola (via Sportwitness) are claiming that the player is on his way to England and Wolves seems like the destination. Apparently, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will pay €15m for the midfielder. Palhinha has done well for Braga during his loan spell at the club and his performances seem to have caught Wolves’ attention. They are keen on signing the Sporting midfielder and the deal to take him to Molineux is expected to be done this summer. It will be interesting to see how Palhinha performs in the Premier League, should the transfer go through. He is a talented young player and Nuno could improve him and take his game on to another level. The Wolves boss has worked wonders with the young players at his disposal so far. The li...

Report: Wolves keen on three-time La Liga winner but face competition from Newcastle

Wolves have been linked with a move for the Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain. The Juventus ace has fallen out of favour at the club and he needs a fresh start this summer. A move to Wolves could be ideal for him. As per Express, Newcastle are keen on the player as well. It will be interesting to see if Nuno makes a move for Higuain in the coming weeks. The 75-cap Argentine international struggled at Chelsea but he is a proven goalscorer. If he can regain his sharpness, he could be a superb addition to Wolves’ attack. Higuain has won the Europa League with Chelsea and he has experienced the Premier League before. He could be better prepared for the challenge if he joins Wolves. He has plenty of winning experience and he won the La Liga three times with Real Madrid as well. The Molineux out...

Report: Klopp identifies 24-year-old ‘sensation’ who is at the top of Liverpool ‘summer hitlist’

Liverpool will be looking to bolster their attacking options in the summer. The likes of Adam Lallana and Xherdan Shaqiri are expected to leave, and Jurgen Klopp will be looking to bring in new faces to fill the void. According to reports from The Sun, Liverpool have made Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore their number one target for the summer. The report claims that Klopp has placed the Spanish attacker at the top of his transfer wishlist in the summer. The Reds have been heavily linked with a move for RB Leipzig’s Timo Werner but it seems Klopp wants to bring Traore to Anfield instead. Traore has improved immensely under Nuno Espirito Santo at Wolves and has enjoyed a phenomenal 2019-20 campaign for the Premier League side. The 24-year-old winger has scored six goals an...

Report: Wolves have secured agreement in principle to sign 24-yr-old midfield player

Wolves are close to signing the Portuguese defensive midfielder Joao Palhinha. According to reports (via Sportwitness), the Premier League club have an agreement in principle to sign the 24-year-old. Wolves are expected to pay around €15m for the player. It will be interesting to see if the transfer is confirmed in the coming weeks. Nuno needed to add more depth to his midfield and Palhinha’s signing makes a lot of sense. He could partner Neves at the heart of Wolves’ midfield next season. The 24-year-old will add defensive steel alongside Neves’ creativity. His arrival will add more balance to Wolves’ midfield next season. Furthermore, the Sporting ace will improve Wolves at the back by shielding the back four. It would also allow the creative players to operate with more freedom. Palhinh...

Report: Wolves keen on highly rated defender, but face competition from PL giants

Wolves are interested in signing the highly-rated defender Rayan Ait-Nouri. As per Birmingham Mail, Manchester City are keen on the player as well. The 18-year-old is a prodigious talent and he is rated highly across Europe. It will be interesting to see if the Premier League side manages to sign him this summer. Wolves certainly have the resources to pull off a signing like this. However, Angers director Sebastien Larcier believes that the current health crisis could tip things in favour of the selling club. The financial impact of Covid-19 is likely to curb the transfer spending this summer and it could help clubs hold on to their prized assets. Ait-Nouri was a target for Premier League clubs in January as well and there was an offer of around €30m for him. However, the move never materi...

As per Manchester Evening News,  the Mexico international is not regarded as a ‘priority target’ for United...

Report: Spurs linked with Wolves target, Mourinho could give them edge in chase

Tottenham have been linked with the Portuguese midfielder William Carvalho. As per Record (via Sportwitness), Wolves and Leicester are keen on the player as well but Jose Mourinho’s presence at the helm is an advantage for Spurs. Mourinho is a world-class manager with a great track record of winning trophies and Spurs have an interesting project. It will be interesting to see if the Londoners submit a bid for Carvalho in the coming weeks. The 28-year-old defensive midfielder could be a handy option for Mourinho next season. Spurs have Ndombele and Winks as their first-choice central midfielders and neither possess Carvalho’s skillset. He could complete Tottenham’s midfield trio next season, if the transfer goes through. Carvalho is a key player for Betis and they will not want to part ways...

Report: Wolves make enquiry for 28-yr-old La Liga midfielder

Wolves are thought to be keen on the Real Betis midfielder William Carvalho. The 28-year-old has done well for the La Liga side and he could prove to be a good addition to Nuno’s midfield. Carvalho has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now and it will be interesting to see if he gets the move this time. Wolves could do with some defensive cover in their midfield and Carvalho would be ideal. He could form a solid partnership with Moutinho and Neves at the heart of Wolves’ midfield.

Wolves have the finances to tempt the defensive midfielder and Diario de Sevilla (via Sportwitness) claims that they have asked about his availability and price ...

‘He’s going to leave’ – Manager expects Wolves star to leave for a bigger club

Portuguese manager Pedro Caixinha thinks Raul Jimenez will leave Wolves in order to join a bigger club in future. He said to TUDN (via Sportwitness): “He’s going to leave Wolves to go one step higher and he’s going to continue with that ambition. It’s what I’d like to see in other Mexican players who have a lot of quality.” The Mexican has been outstanding for Wolves since moving to the Premier League and he has been linked with a move away this summer. It will be interesting to see if his suitors can tempt him away from Molineux. Earlier this month, Jimenez revealed that it would hard to turn down approaches from Real Madrid or Barcelona. Wolves will be desperate to keep their star striker at the club this season but things could change if a top club comes calling. Jimenez has shown that ...

Report: Aston Villa and Wolves can sign 26-yr-old target for just £13m this summer

Aston Villa and Wolves remain interested in the Galatasaray defender Christian Luyindama. As per Milliyet (via Sportwitness), the two Premier League clubs will have to pay around €15m (£13m roughly) to sign the 26-year-old defender this summer. It will be interesting to see if Villa or Wolves make an approach for the player in the coming weeks. Luyindama has done well in Turkey and he could be a solid addition for the two clubs. Aston Villa are in desperate need of quality defenders and Luyindama could partner Mings at the back next season. It remains to be seen whether Dean Smith’s side can beat the drop first. They will struggle to attract top players without the lure of Premier League football. Luyindama might be tempted to move to England if a good offer comes his way. However, playing...
