Fulham and West Ham United are in the picture to sign Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Saša Kalajdžić, according to Sport1.
The striker arrived at Molineux from VfB Stuttgart in 2022 and suffered a serious knee injury on his debut for Wolves, forcing him to spend most o|
f the previous season on the sidelines.
He regained full fitness but has struggled to have a prominent role under Gary O’Neil’s orders. The 26-year-old has been restricted to 282 minutes of action from 13 games this season.
Sport1 state Wolves are thinking about sending the Austria international out on loan next month and this seems to have caught the attention of Fulham and West Ham.
It’s claimed several Bundesliga and Premier League sides have already made contact about the frontman. The report doesn’t specify if the contact was made with his camp, Wolves or both.
Eintracht Frankfurt are in the market for a new striker and Sport1 suggest Kalajdžić could be an option for them. Stuttgart may also consider him, if Serhou Guirassy were to leave them in January.
The Wolves player is looking for a club that can offer him more game time, to improve his chances of representing Austria at the Euros next summer.
Kalajdžić’s agent Sasa Empacher has told Peter Linden that clubs in England and Germany have approached him.
“He didn’t play much, but his two goals brought six points, without which Wolverhampton would be just above the relegation zone,” he said.
“He has worked hard, is fitter than ever before, there are people interested in him. Both in the Premier League and in the Bundesliga!”
Empacher hasn’t provided details of the Premier League sides and with Sport1 mentioning Fulham and West Ham, it may be the two London clubs who have expressed interest in the Wolves attacker.
