With Raul Jimenez ruled out with a knee injury, Wolverhampton Wanderers fielded Hee-chan Hwang against Leeds United on Saturday.
The South Korean striker failed to find the back of the net as Bruno Lage’s succumbed to a 2-1 defeat, highlighting that perhaps another striker is needed at Molineux.
That’s where someone like Andrea Belotti, still without a club following his exit from Torino, would come in, and Corriere dello Sport claim Wolves made a move for the Italian.
The problem for the Premier League side is that AS Roma are also in the mix, and they appear to have won the race.
It’s said the player is ‘only waiting for the decisive call’, and was ‘reassured’ by the Italian club that it was on its way.
That’s why he ‘removed all other temptations’, with the latest coming from Wolves who ‘would also offer him a higher salary than he would get in Trigoria’.
Despite this, ‘his choice was made’, and is ready to head to Rome, where he will earn around €3m/year post tax for the next three years.
As for Wolves, they will have to look elsewhere if they want to add goals to their frontline, with Jimenez expected to be out for a number of weeks.
