Wolves are looking to replace Man City-headed Rayan Ait-Nouri with the Danish-born Kenyan flanker, whose move to Brighton last February failed to materialise.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly monitoring Danish-Kenyan teenager Clement Mutahi Bischoff as a possible replacement for Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is on the verge of completing a high-profile move to Manchester City.
Sources close toMolineux Newshave revealed that Mutai Bischoff has emerged as a serious target for manager Vitor Pereira, as the club looks to reshape its squad following a flurry of big-money departures, including Matheus Cunha, who recently joined Manchester United.
With Aït-Nouri set to join Pep Guardiola’s side for an initial fee of £31 million, Wolves have stepped up their efforts to find a suitable replacement at left wing-back.
According to Sky Sports News, The Algerian international has passed his medical and is expected to sign a five-year deal with City before Tuesday’s 7 p.m. deadline, allowing him to feature at the Club World Cup.
Wolves’ scouting department has identified Bischoff as a prime candidate to step into Aït-Nouri’s attacking role on the left flank.

The 19-year-old Brøndby talent is seen as an "interesting name" by Wolves insiders, with his versatility and attacking flair ticking all the boxes for Pereira’s preferred profile. Comfortable in midfield, out wide, or at full-back, Bischoff offers the kind of tactical flexibility that could prove vital in the Premier League.
In the 2024/25 season, Bischoff earned praise for his electric dribbling and attacking output, ranking among Europe’s best U21 talents—in the company of prodigies like Lamine Yamal.

This isn’t the first time Bischoff has caught the eye of English top-flight clubs. Earlier this year, Brighton & Hove Albion reportedly made a €8 million (Ksh1.2 billion) offer for the youngster, as revealed by The Athletic.
Though the deal fell through, the Premier League continues to watch the rising star closely.
Impressive Stats at Youth Level

Bischoff’s performances at youth level speak for themselves—19 goals and 9 assists in 38 games for Brøndby’s U19 side highlight his offensive prowess. His leap to senior football has only further solidified his reputation.
He has also represented Denmark at every youth level including the U21s, but remains eligible to play for Harambee Stars, just like Daniel Anyembe who chose to represent Kenya at senior level after playing for the same nation.
A potential call-up could be a major boost for Benni McCarthy’s side, especially with upcoming qualifiers on the horizon.
Should Bischoff choose to represent Kenya internationally, it could mark a turning point for the country’s football ambitions. His Premier League prospects and attacking instincts align with the national team’s long-term vision.
