Wolverhampton Wanderers endured a turbulent summer transfer window, losing some key players such as Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho, Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore, while head coach Julen Lopetegui resigned in protest a few days before the season commenced to voice his displeasure at the club’s transfer business.
Gary O’Neil succeeded the former Real Madrid manager in the Molineux dugout and faced an uphill battle from the get-go. However, the ex-Bournemouth boss has guided Wolves to 12th in the Premier League thus far, one place above last season’s finish.
Now, the manager is looking to bolster his attacking department ahead of the second half of the campaign and has eyed up one of Europe’s most efficient goalscorers.
Wolves transfer news
According to FCInter News, Wolves have identified Iranian centre-forward Mehdi Taremi as the perfect number ‘9’ to sign ahead of the January transfer window to improve the forward line and are prepared to make a significant offer to Porto. The outlet have also reported that the Midlands club face competition from Italian giants and Champions League finalists Inter Milan.
Taremi has been a prolific goalscorer in Portugal for a number of years and managed to hit 31 goals last season in 51 appearances in all competitions, including 22 in the Primeira Liga, claiming the league’s Golden Boot award for the second time in his career. Nevertheless, the Iran international also recorded 14 assists for the Portuguese giants despite missing out on the title by two points.
