According to Sky Sports, Wolves are now interested in signing Celta Vigo maestro Okay Yokuslu – Crystal Palace and Leeds are also keen.
What’s the story?
Well, there seems to be four Premier League clubs chasing the 27-year-old, as Sky Sports believe Watford are also interested.
You may remember Yokuslu, as he spent time on loan at West Brom during the 2020/21 campaign, making 16 Premier League appearances in total.
The 37-cap Turkey international impressed in the Midlands, although unfortunately, he couldn’t prevent the Baggies from being relegated.
Celta Vigo want just £5m for their defensive midfielder, and Yokuslu himself is keen to return to the Premier League.
Wolves must fend off Crystal Palace and Leeds
If Bruno Lage is to bring Yokuslu to Molineux, he will have to fend off two Premier League rivals in Crystal Palace and Leeds.
It has been said that both Patrick Vieira and Marcelo Bielsa are eyeing the man who appeared at EURO 2020, as he’s not in Eduardo Coudet’s plans at Celta Vigo.
In our view, it’s a no brainer for the Premier League trio to pursue this deal.
In a market hit by COVID-19, £5m for an experienced international with Premier League experience is a total bargain.
Even if Yokuslu fails to impress, one of Wolves, Crystal Palace or Leeds will surely be able to make a profit on the Turk.
