Wolves hold internal talks over move for "special" 27 y/o on free transfer

Wolverhampton Wanderers are brimming with confidence under Vitor Pereira and could now be set to take a step towards landing a summer bargain, according to reports.

Wolverhampton Wanderers on the up under Vitor Pereira

Incredibly, the Old Gold have won six Premier League matches on the trot and are unbeaten in seven top-flight encounters as optimism reaches new levels at Molineux.

Pereira has brought a sense of pride back to Wolves that had evaporated earlier in the season under Gary O’Neil. This could see them push to finish above Crystal Palace and Brentford by the end of play.

Not too long ago, the threat of relegation seemed like a realistic prospect at Molineux, but they are now one of the top-flight’s in-form sides and look destined for a bright future should they secure some smart additions in the summer window.

Flamengo midfielder Evertton Araujo is on Wolves’ wishlist to strengthen their impressive engine room, while Joao Felix could emerge as an unlikely capture if he fancies another shot at Premier League stardom.

On the other hand, Matheus Cunha is a leading target for Manchester United, and Pereira may have work to do should his star man leave for his reported £62.5 million release clause.

Movement in both directions is just part of the reality for most Premier League sides in the off-season. PSR regulations are another caveat to potential business, though financially advantageous deals are a way to avoid market damage limitation.

With that in mind, Wolves have now held internal talks to sign a talented winger who would cost them nothing in transfer fees this summer.

According to Birmingham World, Wolves have held internal talks about signing West Bromwich Albion winger Grady Diangana on a free transfer from their bitter rivals.

The 27-year-old is on course to leave the Hawthorns upon the expiry of his contract, and the Old Gold now have his situation under surveillance alongside a host of other targets.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have now won their last six Premier League games in a row after convincingly beating Leicester City 3-0.

Whispers have indicated there is further interest in his services from Leeds United and the United States. Diangana isn’t seen as a regular starter at Molineux, though he has desirable qualities that could offer something tangible from the bench.

Labelled “special” by Carlos Corberan, the former West Ham United star has registered four goals and three assists in 34 appearances across all competitions this season.

Free transfers can never be sniffed at when the risk of PSR is alive and kicking, so Wolves may view an opening to bring in an inexpensive homegrown option as a low-risk market opportunity ahead of the new campaign.

That being said, Diangana departing West Brom for one of their adversaries would create an intriguing reception were both sides to face off in the next few years.
