Jordan Graham is struggling to force his way into Wolves’ plans and could leave for Fulham before the end of the transfer window.

Jordan Graham has been something of a victim of circumstance at Wolves.

The electric winger made a promising start to life at Molineux since arriving from Midlands rivals Aston Villa in 2014 but, just a month after scoring his first goal for the club, suffered a serious knee ligament injury.

Graham was not seen again in a Wolves shirt for 15 months.

And even though the 22-year-old is back to full fitness, he now finds himself well down the pecking order with a new manager and plenty of new signings in place.

As such, Nuno Espirito Santo has handed Graham just two starts in all competitions this season, both coming in the Carabao Cup in an unfamiliar wing-back role.

Wolves manager Nuno Espírito Santo looks on during the pre-season friendly match between Wolverhampton Wanderers and Leicester City at Molineux on July 29, 2017 in Wolverhampton, England.

Consequently, the Express and Star reports that Wolves, who are set to welcome fellow winger Helder Costa back from injury, are willing to let Graham leave on loan this month, and Fulham are one of a number of clubs interested.

However, although Graham is well down the pecking order at Wolves, loaning him to Fulham would represent a monumental risk. After all, the Cottagers are expected to challenge for promotion this season despite a slow start to the campaign.

And, only last season, they finished in the top six thanks in part to the goals of Chris Martin, nabbed on loan from Derby County for the season. It remains to be seen whether Wolves would risk a similar error.

Yet there is little doubt Graham would fit into Fulham’s attacking style, his aggressive, direct approach likely to add another exciting element into Slavisa Jokanovic’s mix.
