The 20-time Morocco international has created a crucial partnership with £15million summer signing Ruben Neves and their form is arguably one of the reasons why Wolves sit nine points clear at the top of the Championship table.

Saiss has missed just one Championship fixture this term and is renowned for his intricate array of passing as well as his ability read the game an intercept an opposition pass. He is pivotal in the Wolves engine room.

So they will be desperate to keep him if La Viola come calling, although the glamour of a move to one of the biggest sides in Serie A will surely tempt Saiss. However, he will only be targeted if they fail to land West Ham’s Obiang.

Saiss, who joined Wolves from Ligue 1 side Angers SCO in August 2016, still has two and a half years remaining on his current contract at Molineux but it remains to be seen if he will still be at Wolves come the end of the season.
