Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly eyeing Argentine starlet Maher Carrizo but face heavy competition for the 19-year-old.
Secta Deportiva journalist Martin Etcheverry reports that Wolves are in the race for Carrizo alongside other Premier League clubs. He's a promising South American talent who has been catching the eye at Argentine outfit Velez Sarsfield.
Vitor Pereira is expected to be in the market for new attackers this summer, especially with Matheus Cunha heading to Manchester United. Carrizo might not be at the stage of his career to become an immediate first-team star, but the West Midlands outfit has pulled off similar deals for top prospects.

Wolves may have to beat Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United to his signature as the three English giants are also keen. City, in particular, seem to be huge admirers and have met with its representatives, while the other two have also been in contact.
Carrizo's contract has a £13.6m (€16m) release clause, and Velez expects to receive offers for the 5-foot-9-inch attacker whose contract expires in December 2026.

Carrizo has lit up the CONMEBOL Libertadores, South America's answer to the Champions League, posting four goals and one assist in five outings. He's earned a call-up to Argentina's U20 team and managed two goals in five caps. Carrizo possesses pace, impressive dribbling abilities, and a proven track record of finding the net.
Wolves have a habit of tapping into the South American market, as seen with their recent recruitment. Brazilian midfield duo Andre and Joao Gomes have proven to be clever pieces of business, and Carrizo, branded an "electrifying forward" with "blistering pace", could be next up.
