Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking at alternatives to Rui Patricio with it becoming increasingly complicated to sign the Sporting goalkeeper.

As the Daily Mail reports, Wolves are now considering Sparta Prague’s Florin Nita with negotiations with Patricio having stalled because of a dispute between the 30-year-old’s current club and agents Gestifute.

Who else could they target?

While Nita is well regarded and is wanted by other Premier League sides, the newly promoted team could instead target an available stopper with bags of experience in the division.

That man is Lukasz Fabianski, who is tipped to leave Swansea City this summer following their relegation to the Championship.

According to the Sun, West Ham United have already had a £4.5m offer for Fabianski rejected by the Swans, who are holding out for closer to £7m.

At that price Nuno Espirito Santo should certainly take a look at the 33-year-old, who has played 181 games in the top flight of English football for Swansea and Arsenal before that.
