Wolves target two of last season’s FL hot prospects

Wolves Head Coach Kenny Jackett looks to have narrowed his potential new striker down to two targets, according to Tim Nash of The Express and Star. 

 

After ruling out a £3m move for Callum Wilson, the current players to catch Jackett’s eye are Leicester City striker Chris Wood and Chelsea front man Patrick Bamford.

Whilst a move would be permanent at some stage, Jackett stated that any signing would ideally be on-loan.

Jackett told TheE&S: “We’d prefer our own players and a loan player we have a chance of signing at the end,” 

“If it is a loan – and loans have been successful for us at times – we’d hope it’s one that turns out to be a permanent deal, if it goes well for both sides.” 

The potential moves will come as exciting news to fans of a Wolves team that boasts Nouha Dicko, Liam McAlinden, Leon Clarke amongst others up-front. So, providing both players are interested, who would Wolves fans rather have?
