Along with Crystal Palace and West Ham, Wolves are interested in signing Lyon’s Georges Mikautadze at the end of the season.

The Georgia international is open to a move to the Premier League but is leaning toward joining the Hammers due to the prospect of playing alongside Jarrod Bowen.

Fabio Silva’s future will impact Rodrigo Gomes

Arriving from Porto in 2020 for just over £35 million, Fabio Silva remains one of Wolves’ most expensive signings.

However, the young striker has failed to live up to expectations and, with Las Palmas until the end of the season, is now on his fourth loan spell.

Unsurprisingly, Silva’s underwhelming five years has forced Wolves to change their strategy.

Unlike the fee they paid for the 22-year-old, the Old Gold’s latest transfer policy now sees them buy young, high-potential talent but for more modest prices, and that could suggest a future high-profile move for the likes of Rodrigo Gomes.

Player Wolves tried to sign in 2022 now linked with huge Saudi transfer

Bruno Lage wanted Wolves to sign Mohammed Kudus in 2022 but the Old Gold missed out to West Ham, who finalised a £38 million deal with Ajax.

Fast forward three years and the Hammers are braced for a whopping £84 million offer from Saudi side Al-Nassr for the ‘unstoppable’ Ghana international.

Wolves’ failure to sign Kudus could result in Fosun missing out on well over £40 million in profit.

The Zimbabwe international has spoken highly of Joao Gomes, revealing ‘everybody loves’ his Brazilian teammate.

Joao Gomes is linked with a transfer to Spurs, but as one of Wolves’ most important players, and having up to four years left on his deal, is unlikely to leave Molineux this summer.

Premier League confirm Tony Harrington in charge for West Ham clash

The Premier League have confirmed Tony Harrington will referee Wolves vs West Ham on Tuesday.

Scott Ledger and Sian Massey-Ellis will be Harrington’s assistants with Stuart Attwell selected for VAR duties.

In a full-circle series of events, Harrington’s selection will remind Wolves fans of Max Kilman’s disallowed goal against West Ham almost exactly 12 months ago.

Kilman, now playing for West Ham, saw his equaliser controversially disallowed after Tawanda Chirewa was deemed to have hindered Lukasz Fabianski’s line of vision.
