Wolves are reported to be keen on signing Norwegian teenager John Kitolano.

Norwegian news outlet Varden report Wolves have sent scouts to watch Kitolano in action over the past month.

Kitolano, 18, plays for Norwegian side Odds BK, who currently sit eighth of 16 teams in the country’s top flight.

The youngster is a left-back and he has played in six out of seven league games for the club so far this season.

His contract is set to expire in December 2018 which will help Wolves’ chances of signing the teenager for a cut price fee.

Kitolano is a Norway under-19 international and made his first team debut for Odds two year ago when he was just 16.

At Wolves he would have to fight his way into the team and likely go into their under-23 squad.

Left-back Barry Douglas has earned his spot as first choice for Wolves and will get a shot in the Premier League next season to show what he can do.

Kitolano would be an investment for the future, and considering he is playing first team football as a teenager in a top flight European league, he may be worth a punt.
