If there was ever a player who would end up being linked with Wolverhampton Wanderers, it’s a Portuguese forward named Jota Silva.
While he does sound like a made up footballer just to annoy Wolves fans, he is indeed real, playing for Vitoria Guimaraes, and impressing this season.
The forward, who has eight goals to his name, has become a target for many sides, and O Jogo claim the Molineux residents are among them.
However, if Wolves really do want the player, whose contract in Portugal comes to an end in 2025, they will have to move quickly, as OGC Nice have made the first move.
It’s said the Ligue 1 side have ‘already made an offer’ for the forward, who has a €20m release clause, but they are just ‘one of many clubs that have expressed a desire’ to sign him.
AC Milan were in the stands watching him last Sunday, while other clubs have also been ‘lusting after him’, like Wolves, Toulouse, Nantes, Villarreal and Atalanta.
Therefore, there is a lot of competition for Gary O’Neil and those in charge of transfers at the Premier League club, which they will have to take into account.
