The Arsenal teenager could be an ideal addition to the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad this summer.

New Wolves boss Nuno Espírito Santo has an extremely busy summer ahead of him, if he is to build a squad capable of making a sustained push for the top-six, or at the very least, improve on this season’s efforts.

The Black Country outfit finished in 15th spot this term, and much quality, along with squad depth, will need to be added this summer, as the Portuguese looks to turn their fortunes around.

With this in mind, an interesting option for them could be Gunners youngster Krystian Bielik.

The 19-year-old Poland under-18 international is incredibly versatile, and is equally as proficient when playing in either the centre-back or the deep-lying midfield positions.

Wolves should consider a loan approach for the Arsenal man, as Nuno looks to add more competition for places in the defensive department of his squad.

Standing at just under 6ft 3in tall, Bielik possesses an imposing physique, and is renowned for his dominant aerial ability, although he has far more to his game than just that.

He is wonderfully gifted technically, and is an accomplished passer of the football. He is also a superb reader of the game, which more than makes up for his lack of pace.

Arsene Wenger will surely be keen for his young star to gain experience of regular first-team football this term, and where better to send him than Wolves.

The robust nature of the Championship will help improve the physical side of the Pole’s game, whilst Nuno’s penchant for instilling an exciting passing brand of football into his teams should mean that Bielik is the ideal fit for the Portuguese’s side.

And with the transfer window just around the corner, this will certainly be one to keep an eye on.
