Wolves are considering a move for one of Ligue 1’s brightest talents, according to Sky Sports.
Just one day after Matt Hobbs’ departure as sporting director was announced, Wolves seem to have sprung into action in the transfer market.
The Old Gold are undergoing a hierarchical reshuffle behind the scenes in a bid to put together a comprehensive summer transfer window.
Wolves fans are excited by the change, with the early signs giving them a good reason to be, as an attacking target has been linked.

Wolves are considering a move for OGC Nice striker Evann Guessand
Yuri Alberto has been heavily linked to Wolves, but it’s unclear whether the Old Gold will have the chance to sign the striker.
Fortunately, the Brazilian isn’t the only name on Wolves’ radar, as a fresh report from Sky Sports has revealed.
Sky Sports exclusively reported that Wolves are ‘considering making an offer’ for Evann Guessand, OGC Nice’s striker.
MORE WOLVES STORIES
It’s understood that a deal could be worth north of £25m, emphasising how highly the West Midlands club rate the 23-year-old.
Guessand is a product of Nice’s academy and has undergone loan spells in Switzerland and France to secure his status as a starter at his boyhood club.
Signing a forward will be close to the top of Wolves’ list following Matheus Cunha’s transfer to Manchester United.
Guessand is even more creative than Matheus Cunha
Replacing Cunha is essential for Wolves, but at no point did the Old Gold consider that they might be able to land an upgrade on the Brazilian.
Naturally, Guessand can’t be described as a complete upgrade on the 26-year-old, but his numbers in fact reveal that the Nice forward is a better creator.
Positives 🟢
Right this is going to be a long section. Strap in.
You may know that I divide my notes into four sections: physical, psychological, tactical and technical notes. I colour code them,
🟢 Green = good (surprise!)
🔴 Red = bad (surprise!!)
Well, Guessand is the first…

Cunha ended the Premier League season with six assists to his name, a figure that the rumoured Wolves target eclipsed with nine in Ligue 1.
Aside from having an eye for playmaking, the Ivory Coast international has been lauded for his ability to use his physicality to his advantage.
On X, The Athletic’s Alex Barker shared a complete scouting report on the striker, dubbing him a ‘real physical handful’ for defenders.
Having ended the 2024/25 calendar with 23 goal contributions for Nice, Guessand could be a force to be reckoned with, but can Wolves secure a deal?
