Wolves have initiated preparations for the upcoming season and have allegedly submitted an offer for a promising young player currently impressing on loan in Portugal.
Wolves Considering Attacking Reinforcements It’s widely known that Gary O’Neil’s Wolves team currently lacks depth in the attacking department. In their recent match against Arsenal, they were compelled to give 20-year-old academy striker Tawanda Chirewa his debut Premier League start due to several injuries leaving them short of options in the striker role. Additionally, Pablo Sarabia was the sole senior attacker on the bench as he recuperated from his own injury.
In January, Gary O’Neil had expressed concerns about this scenario, especially after Wolves failed to secure the signing of Armando Broja.
Wolves make offer for “incredible” Gomes
Now, it has been claimed that Wolves have already begun their restructuring in attack, and have tabled a bid for another Portuguese talent. The Midlands outfit have bought plenty of talent from Portugal in recent seasons with (mostly) successful results – sorry Fabio Silva.
The likes of Pedro Neto, Ruben Neves and Matheus Nunes have all been hits at Molineux, and now they are looking to once again tap into that market
As per Portuguese outlet Record [via Sport Witness], they are looking to achieve this through SC Braga attacker Rodrigo Gomes, who is currently on loan at Estoril for the season. He has shone during his spell away from Braga, with the 20-year-old having grabbed five goals and seven assists in 26 Portuguese top flight outings this season.
His performances have been dubbed “incredible” by U23 scout Antonio Mango on X, and Wolves clearly agree, as they sent a scout to watch him in action once more over the weekend, in a game against Chaves which finished 2-2.
The report adds that Wolves have even now made a tentative offer for his services, tabling a 5m euro bid to bring him to Molineux, though it is described as a ‘relatively low bid’ for the talent, who is currently on around £2,500-a-week.
Nonetheless, it is a clear signal of intent from the Premier League side, who may well be showcasing another young talent from Portugal come next season.
