Wolves reported interest in Dan Gosling could be very astute

Dan Gosling has been a regular in the Premier League for Bournemouth and is a target for Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are already identifying players that will help them in the Premier League next season, according to the Express and Star.

But that does not mean Nuno Espirito Santo’s side will be exclusively welcoming Portuguese superstars through the doors of Molineux. Wolves will need players with proven Premier League experience as well.

So, while the signing of Dan Gosling would be a little underwhelming, he is the sort of astute, low-cost addition who could be absolutely essential to Wolves’ hopes of a long stay in the top tier of English football.

According to the Sun (11 February, page 63), Wolves have identified Bournemouth midfielder Gosling as one of their top summer targets due to his tireless nature and tenacity in the centre of the park.

And while the former Everton youngster is not the most eye-catching or glamorous midfielders, there is a reason why he has been a regular in Bournemouth’s starting XI ever since they were promoted to the Premier League back in 2015.

Gosling is a committed and consistent performer who would add some steel among the silk. And, blessed with a neat and tidy passing game, he would not look out of touch with Nuno’s expansive style of football either.

It takes all types of player to make a Premier League team. And Gosling’s experience and reliability could be just as important as Ruben Neves’s sensational range of passing or Diogo Jota’s elusive dribbling next season.
