Wolves plotting summer swoop to sign "fantastic" £25m Premier League star

After losing both Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri to both Manchester clubs, Wolverhampton Wanderers have now reportedly turned their attention towards potential incomings and one Premier League rival.

Wolves lose Ait-Nouri and Cunha

Whilst losing Cunha always seemed inevitable due to his £63m release clause, Wolves may not have had the same feeling of inevitability about Ait-Nouri’s future. One swift move from Manchester City soon changed things, however, and now the Midlands club are set to enter next season without arguably their most important players.

Despite being picked apart, however, those in the Midlands still have reason to be positive. Having sold Cunha for his £63m release clause and Ait-Nouri for a reported £36m, Wolves now have money to spend on incomings of their own ahead of Vitor Pereira’s first full season in charge at the club.

As a result, the rumours have already been coming thick and fast. Top of Wolves’ wishlist should be finding replacements for both Ait-Nouri and Cunha before perhaps addressing other areas in need of upgrading.

To that end, names such as Barcelona’s Gerard Martin and Nice forward Evann Guessand have threatened to steal the headlines in recent weeks in two moves that would solve Wolves’ problem.

Nice's Evann Guessand.

The latter enjoyed a particularly impressive season in France, scoring 13 goals and creating another 10 in all competitions for Nice. Doing enough to earn the interest of Wolves, the Ivory Coast forward could yet be on his way to the Premier League.

Meanwhile, those at Molineux have also reportedly turned their attention towards signing a reinforcement slightly closer to home and one who already knows all about the Premier League.

Wolves plotting Yegor Yarmolyuk move

As reported by Caught Offside, Wolverhampton Wanderers are now plotting a move to sign Yegor Yarmolyuk from Brentford this summer. Like the Midlands club, the Bees could lose two crucial figures this summer in manager Thomas Frank, who looks destined for Tottenham Hotspur, and Manchester United-linked Bryan Mbeumo. They are, therefore, keen to keep hold of Yarmolyuk.

Every player has their price, however, and the West London club reportedly value their young midfielder at just €30m (£25m) in what should be an affordable price for a Wolves side fresh from big-money sales.

The Midlands club aren’t alone in pursuit of the 21-year-old, though, with Frank reportedly eyeing the chance to bring him to Tottenham and Leeds United also interested.

It should, of course, come as little surprise that Spurs have already set their sights on the Brentford midfielder and Fank’s influence could yet deal Wolves a frustrating blow.

The Spurs-bound manager was full of praise for Yarmolyuk last season, telling reporters: “He possesses a fantastic mindset and trains well every day. If you train well consistently and are one of the best in practice, you will eventually make your way to the starting lineup, and I hope he establishes himself there.”

Sweets, of course. I’m a big fan of sweets and I can eat it all day but I’ve kept off it for some time now.What is your favourite pre- or post-workout snack?
I think scrambled eggs with cheese is something I’ve been addicted to of late, so I’d probably eat eggs after a workout.Is there anyone in the KKR squad who can eat anything without it affecting their fitness?
Kamlesh Nagarkoti. He eats a lot. He eats as much as all of us, but he’s got such good metabolism that it never shows.What are some of your favourite sweets?
I eat everything. I love Bengali sweets, gulab jamun, anything that’s sweet.What fast food is okay to eat as a professional sportsperson?

I think the rice and (dal) that my granny makes, I miss that a lot.If you could reward yourself with a cheat meal after taking a five-for, what would it be?
I’d reward myself with some masala dosa, then rice with pappu and finish it off with some dessert. I’m a big fan of the Death by Chocolate from Corner House in Bangalore, so I’d top it off with some DBC.

  • WHAT HAPPENED?

    Bayern made a second formal bid of around €55 million (£47m/$62m) for the German striker, which was rejected by Stuttgart. Bayern have made it clear that they won't launch a third bid at the moment, and Stuttgart are also standing firm on their stance not to part ways with the 23-year-old unless the offer price matches their asking price. According to , the young striker is in a bad mood and has asked Stuttgart representatives to initiate talks with Bayern.

    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Woltemade has joined the Stuttgart camp, but his sole focus has reportedly been on trying to clinch a move to the 2024-25 Bundesliga champions. However, the player's representatives and Bayern's camp have both been irked by Stuttgart's rigid stance. The 2024-25 DFB-Pokal winners have not even engaged in personal talks as of now and are adamant that their asking price must be met.

  • TELL ME MORE

    Stuttgart's sporting department has decided to listen to suitable offers for the next two weeks – that is, until the DFL-Supercup on August 16. After that, the club will decline any proposed offers and will continue with Woltemade in the squad and in their future plans. Manchester United and Newcastle United are monitoring the striker's situation and might make a move should they fail in their race to sign Benjamin Sesko.

    WHAT NEXT FOR WOLTEMADE?

    Bayern are confident of reaching an agreement for Woltemade but aren't sure when they will pursue him next. Woltemade's actions are also considered positive by the Bayern camp. However, his contract with Stuttgart runs until 2028, and there is no release clause, which prompts Stuttgart to take a back seat and wait for his value to rise further.
