Wolves were quite simply magnificent in the Championship last season, but the hard work really does begin now for Nuno Espirito Santo.

The Black Country outfit head into the Premier League season with extremely high expectations, and if they are to enjoy a successful campaign in the top flight, Nuno will have to add further quality to his ranks.

One particular area where the Portuguese will want to strengthen is his centre-forward department, especially after Benik Afobe’s exit from Molinuex, and with this in mind, Wolves should consider a move for Tottenham’s Fernando Llorente.

At 33, the Spaniard is arguably already past his best, but that is not to say that he doesn’t still have a lot to offer at the very highest level.

Llorente is a target man type striker, and he would offer Wolves a fantastic focal point from which to build their attacking play through.

Nuno has plenty of technically gifted players at his disposal at Molineux, but it could be argued that his team lack any kind of physical presence in the final third, so bringing the Tottenham hitman to the club would solve that in an instant.

The former Juventus and Athletic Bilbao hitman is highly experienced in playing at the very highest level for such a prolonged period, and that would surely prove to be a fantastic asset for Wolves.

Llorente proved that he can score regularly in the Premier League during his time with Swansea City, and Nuno should not hesitate to bring him to Molineux this summer.
