Premier League Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly bid for Badou Ndiaye – and Stoke City fans have reacted in the same way.

Badou Ndiaye of Stoke City reacts during the Premier League match between Stoke City and Brighton and Hove Albion at Bet365 Stadium on February 10, 2018 in Stoke on Trent, England.

Are Wolverhampton Wanderers about to overpay quite spectacularly for Stoke City midfielder Badou Ndiaye?

According to Fanatik, Wolves have offered £22 million for the Potters’ midfielder, just five months after he moved to Stoke from Galatasaray for £8 million less.

And Wolves fans should be a little worried to learn that their Stoke counterparts seem willing to piggyback Ndiaye down to Molineux as long as they receive £22 million for their efforts.

The 27-year-old Senegal international was always expected to leave the Bet 365 Stadium after their decade-long stay in the Premier League came to an end and it is understood that a number of clubs are keen to give him the chance to stay in the top flight.

Wolves are one of those. Powerful and energetic, Ndiaye certainly has the profile to form a fearsome partnership with the masterful Ruben Neves in the centre of Nuno Espirito Santo’s midfield but is he really worth breaking their transfer record for?

Ndiaye did impress in his 13 Premier League starts for Stoke, particularly when scoring during the final day win at Swansea. But the reaction from Stoke supporters suggests that Wolves might have gone a little too big too soon.
