Leicester leading West Brom and Villa in battle for Wolves’ former star

The Birmingham Mail have today reported that Leicester City have emerged as favourites to sign Bakary Sako with West Brom and and Aston Villa also keen on a deal for the Mali international.

Sako himself has said that he ‘wants to play in the Premier League’ and so, despite offers from abroad, he looks likely to sign with a top flight English club.

His agent has told Sky Sports that a decision on his future is going to be made ‘very soon’ with a new contract at Molineux a very unlikely outcome.

The 27 year-old had the best season of his Wanderers career last campaign as he netted 15 goals and contributed ten assists in a season which saw Wolves miss out on the play-offs by goal difference.

After starting his career with French Ligue 2 side Chateauroux and gaining a reputation as a pacey winger, a move to Ligue 1 club Saint-Etienne came about where the free agent went on to play over 100 games.

Sako signed for Wolves in 2012 for a fee of £2.2 million, going on to score 36 league goals in 118 games before the expiration of his contract this summer.
