Adam Lallana will be looking to get minutes under his belt when Liverpool play Wolves in the Premier League on Friday night.

It says a lot about Wolves that they are sitting seventh in the Premier League table yet not many supporters outside of the club will be surprised by their current position.

Over the summer, manager Nuno Espirito Santo brought in a number of big-name players from loan signing Raul Jimenez to Portugal stalwart Joao Moutinho from Monaco.

In order for Wolves to maintain their current status, they should look towards Liverpool and sign midfielder Adam Lallana who would suit them down to the bone.

The England international would add high-quality Premier League experience to their side and his ability to regain possession as quickly as possible would also suit the Midlands outfit.

Added with that, his experiences for England would be beneficial towards high-flying youngster Morgan Gibbs-White and he would compliment what the club already have in the middle of the park.

There is no doubt that Wolves can achieve European football this season and arguably they will be looking to bolster their forward line in January more than anything else.

But bringing in Lallana, either on loan or on a permanent basis, would make them much stronger for the rest of the campaign.

The 30-year-old, who was nursing a groin injury at the start of the season, has returned to action in recent weeks but has only played 158 minutes of Premier League football this term.

Jurgen Klopp has a plethora of midfield options to choose from and Lallana may struggle to break into that with Fabinho, Keita, James Milner, Gini Wijnaldum, Jordan Henderson and Xherdan Shaqiri all currently ahead of him in the pecking order.

The experienced player could benefit from a short loan spell when the transfer window re-opens next month and Wolves would be the ideal destination for him.
