According to the Daily Mail, Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing a £1.5million deal for Basaksehir winger Eljero Elia this summer.

Wolves haven’t even finished their promotion-winning campaign, but having blitzed their way to the Championship title, players are already being linked with moves to Molineux.

Despite already having Portuguese trio Helder Costa, Ivan Cavaleiro and Diogo Jota, it seems that manager Nuno Espirito Santo wants another winger – and one with Premier League experience is being targeted.

The Daily Mail report that Wolves want to land Basaksehir winger Eljero Elia this summer, and are preparing to launch a bargain £1.5million deal for him.

Formerly of Hamburg, Juventus and Werder Bremen, Elia helped Feyenoord win the Eredivisie title last season before heading to Turkey with Basaksehir last summer, where he has hit eight goals this term.

The 31-year-old had a brief spell in the Premier League with Southampton during the 2014-15 campaign, hitting two goals in 15 appearances for the Saints.

Now, Wolves appear to be keen on handing Elia a return to English football, potentially handing Nuno a proven winger to bring some experience alongside the youthful, aforementioned Portuguese trio.
