Nuno Espirito Santo could be reunited with Jesus Corona at Molineux with Wolverhampton Wanderers interested in signing the Porto speedster, according to claims from El Universal.
Wolves have certainly made a habit of raiding some of the biggest clubs in Portugal since they were transformed beyond all recognition by that Fosun takeover four years ago.
And if reports are to be believed, one of the most creative talents on European soil could be about to follow in the footsteps of Ruben Neves, Rui Patricio and co over the summer months.
Mexico international Corona, or ‘Tecatito’ as he is known back home, has been in remarkable form for Primeira Liga challengers Porto.
A rapid winger by trade, he has been a revelation since being repurposed as a rampaging full-back with a staggering 17 assists to his name in 2019/20 alone.
And the irony was lost on absolutely no one when a player called ‘Corona’ scored the first goal in Portugal after the football season was resumed in Iberia in early-June.
El Observador now suggests that a move to England is on the cards with Corona potentially set to reunite with the coach who brought him to the Estadio do Dragao from FC Twente five years ago.
Speaking to Medio Tempo in May, Corona’s agent admitted that the 27-year-old has a £25 million release clause in his contract with talks taking place regarding a potential move to Chelsea.
At Wolves, however, Corona will be tasked with playing in a wing-back role which should, in theory, make full use of his explosive pace and devastating delivery from out wide.
