Wolverhampton Wanderers should consider a loan move for West Ham United’s highly-rated youngster.
Wolves boss Paul Lambert has spoken extensively about his desire to bring new faces into the Molineux throughout the course of this month’s transfer window.
One of the areas that the Black Country outfit undoubtedly need to strengthen is the centre-forward position, and Lambert should consider making a loan move for West Ham’s Ashely Fletcher.
What with the Hammers looking likely to sign Brentford’s Scott Hogan, Fletcher could find his playing time at the Olympic Stadium limited further still, and a temporary move away to gain experience of playing regularly could be the ideal solution for all parties concerned.
West Ham United’s Ashley Fletcher in action
Although the 21-year-old is still rough around the edges, he has tremendous amounts of talent, and could be a fantastic signing for Wolves, should they decide to make a move.
He is extremely mobile for a big man, is willing to make unselfish runs onto the channels, and could prove to be a real asset for Lambert’s men from set-pieces, both from a defensive and attacking perspective.
West Ham United’s Ashley Fletcher
Fletcher would have a lot to prove to both West Ham and himself if he made the move to Wolves on a short-term basis, and that in itself should ensure that he raises the levels of his game.
He has the physique, talent and ability to be a massive hit in the Championship, and if Lambert’s men did manage to bring him to the club, they would be in a much stronger position to make a charge up the table during the second half of their campaign.
