The Celtic star would be a superb summer addition for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Nuno
Newly-appointed Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo faces an incredibly important couple of months ahead of him this summer, as he looks to strengthen his squad so that they are capable of making vast improvements on this season’s disappointing 15th placed finish in the Championship table.
One key area where the Portuguese will want to improve upon is his forward department, and with this in mind, he should consider bringing Hoops striker Leigh Griffiths back to the Molineux Stadium this summer.
West Brom and Newcastle are reportedly interested in the Scotland international, according to the Daily Record, but Wolves should challenge them both for his signature.
The 26-year-old spent three years with the Black Country outfit earlier on in his career, before leaving for Celtic in January 2014.

During his time at Parkhead, Griffiths has been nothing other than prolific, scoring 85 goals in 143 games for the Glasgow giants, although his place in the side has come under question over the past 12 months, with the arrival of Moussa Dembele.
Whilst a move to the Championship could be viewed as a backward step for the Scot, the chance to join Nuno’s exciting revolution at Wolves could be an attractive prospect.
The 26-year-old forward would provide Nuno’s side with a far more potent threat in attacking areas, what with his clinical nature in front of goal.

His clever movement in and around the box would surely lead to more opportunities for his teammates too, with the space he would create by attracting attention from opposition defenders.
Griffiths is also a set-piece specialist – something that Wolves will be bereft of, if and when Helder Costa leaves the club this summer.
It will be by no means an easy task to prise him away from the Scottish champions, especially with so many interested parties.
With a fee of just £6 million being quoted, however, Wolves have the opportunity for a real coup, and should go all out for the Celtic man.
