Wolves and Celtic have both been linked to Sardar Azmoun, but neither club will be in a rush to pay up.
Iran attacker Sardar Azmoun failed to shine against Spain last night and his second dud performance in a row could have a negative impact on his future.
Azmoun is a player perenially linked with big transfers to British clubs, with Celtic prominently named as being keen on the forward.

Brendan Rodgers has been linked to Azmoun since his Liverpool management days.
Last year The Scottish Sun reported he was a candidate to become Celtic’s record signing, before The Scotsman linked Azmoun with a move again this April.
Teamtalk recently suggested Wolves were leading the race for Azmoun.
Currently playing his football for Russian side Rubin Kazan, Azmoun needed a successful World Cup to earn a big summer transfer.
So far it has been very disappointing.
Iran’s players have failed to score in their opening two games, with their only goal coming against Morocco, as an own goal.
Azmoun has managed one shot on target in two matches, and created no chances.
He has just one game remaining to prove his point, against European champions Portugal. He might just need something special to showcase why a club should splash out, as he has not got close to doing so yet.
