Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly pursuing Rio Ave midfielder Pele.
According to the Daily Mail, Wolverhampton Wanderers watched Rio Ave midfielder Pele in action on Sunday – and he scored two penalties in a 2-1 win over Chaves.
Wolves have won promotion to the Premier League, and will be looking to secure a number of new signings to boost Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad ahead of their return to the top flight.
A number of midfielders have been linked with moves to Molineux, including Anderson Talisca and Joe Allen, and another player has been linked with a move to the Midlands.
The Daily Mail report that Wolves scouted Rio Ave midfielder Pele on Sunday night, and saw him score two penalties in a 2-1 victory over Chaves.
It’s claimed that Wolves could look to lure Pele to Molineux in a £9million deal, having previously been linked with the midfielder back in the summer of 2016.
The former Milan and Benfica ace has hit seven goals this season, whilst he made his international debut for Guinea-Bissau last summer having switched his allegiance from Portugal.
A strong, combative midfielder with an eye for goal, Pele is allegedly wanted back by Benfica, but Wolves may call upon Jorge Mendes to help them secure a deal for the Rio Ave ace this summer.
