Wolverhampton Wanderers have been linked with a £17 million move for the centre-back.

Quissanga Bastos of SS Lazio celebrates a fourth goal during the serie A match between SS Lazio and AC Chievo Verona at Stadio Olimpico on January 21, 2018 in Rome, Italy.

Lazio’s Bastos has done little to dispel rumours of a move to Wolverhampton Wanderers.

La Gazzetta dello Sport named Bastos as a £17 million target for Wolves last week.

And a video uploaded to the Angolan’s Instagram story on Tuesday appears to show one of his companions (below, left), for reasons unknown, sporting Wolves tracksuit bottoms.

It is thought Wolves could be looking to strengthen in Bastos’s position this summer and, with Roderick Miranda heading out of Molineux, that need may increase.

And given Wolves’ strong Iberian influence, Wanderers could be a good fit for the 26-year-old, whose first language is Portuguese.

Portugal internationals Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota and Ivan Cavaleiro shone for the Championship winners last season, under the guidance of their fellow countryman Nuno Espirito Santo.

Bastos began his career with local club Petro Luanda and spent three years on the books of Russian side FC Rostov, before switching to Lazio in 2016.
