Wolverhampton Wanderers fans cannot believe that their side has been linked with a move for PSG’s £39m-rated winger Guedes.

As one delirious Wolverhampton Wanderers fans points out, links with Goncalo Guedes have the feel of a game-changing moment.

What a time it is to be a Wolves fan. Backed by Chinese billionaires, and with one of the world’s most influential agents working on their behalf, the Old Gold have stormed back into the Premier League with arguably the most talented set of players England’s second tier has ever seen.

But if Wolves fans thought Diogo Jota, Helder Costa and co were special, just wait until they see Guedes in action.

According to Get French Football News, Wolves have emerged as a potential destination for the rapid Portugal winger this summer. PSG need to sell in order to avoid Financial Fair Play sanctions and the door has just opened for Wolves with Guedes’ permanent move to Valencia, who he starred for on loan last season, on the rocks.

PSG will demand £39 million for the former Benfica prodigy. And Wolves could actually afford that.

But who is Guedes? Well, he was perhaps Valencia’s standout performer in their best La Liga campaign in years. He is, according to some, the closest thing Portugal have to a new Cristiano Ronaldo.

Guedes, in short, is a world-class attacker in waiting. No wonder the fans are pinching themselves.
