Wolverhampton Wanderers are interested in signing Lucas Ocampos as a potential replacement for Liverpool and Manchester City target Adama Traore, according to The Express.

It has been reported that Wolves are bracing themselves for bids from Liverpool and City for winger Traore.

The Wanderers have reportedly identified Sevilla winger Ocampos as a potential replacement for the former Aston Villa and Barcelona man.

Wolves are ready to make a bid of £55 million for the 26-year-old Argentina international, but the winger has a release clause of £62 million, according to the report.

Wolverhampton Wanderers move this summer?

Ocampos is a very good winger who has a strong reputation, and it will not be easy for Wolves to bring him to the Molineux Stadium this summer.

Sevilla have just won the Europa League and also finished in the top four of the La Liga table this past season.

Wolves will not be in Europe in 2020-21, while Sevilla will play in the Champions League next season.

According to WhoScored, Ocampos scored 14 goals and provided three assists in 33 La Liga matches, and scored one goal and provided one assist in seven Europa League games for Sevilla in 2019-20.
