Wolves should be considering Celtic striker Moussa Dembele.
Former Wolves star Leigh Griffiths has been a big success at Celtic since signing for the club in 2014, but despite the Midlands club’s big budget, there is no need for them to try and re-sign him.
Wolves have signed some of Europe’s top young talents over the past year, adding Helder Costa, Diego Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro and Ruben Neves.
Griffiths’ teammate Moussa Dembele is the Celtic player who Wolves should be targeting, as they seek to strengthen for their assault on the Premier League.
Dembele has scored more than 40 goals for Celtic since signing in 2016 from Fulham.
The Scottish Daily Mail reported Brighton are interested in buying Dembele for £20 million, and it is a chase Wolves should be entering.
Unlike relegation threatened Brighton, Championship leaders Wolves are almost certainties to be in the Premier League next season.
Their spending this summer suggests an even bigger outlay next summer, and Wolves can pay the sort of wages which can compete with the very top clubs.
Tempting him away in January to switch to the Championship could be tougher, but next summer Wolves will have a strong chance of signing Dembele if the striker remains on the market.
Do you think Dembele would be a good signing for Wolves?
