The West Bromwich Albion ace would be a decent addition to the Wolverhampton Wanderers squad.
Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has a lot of work to do at Molineux this summer, if he is to build a group of players who are capable of enjoying a successful Premier League campaign next season.
The Black Country outfit were magnificent in the Championship this season, and it could be argued that they already have a squad strong enough to avoid relegation next term.
Expectations at Molineux are sky high, though, and the Wolves fans are expecting their club to bring some real quality in this summer.
One useful option for Wolves could be West Brom centre-back Ahmed Hegazi, who is attracting interest from Premier League duo West Ham and Leicester, according to the Sun (Goals pullout page 7 Saturday May 19).
The Egypt international is available for just £2.5 million this summer, due to a clause inserted into his contract that was activated when the Baggies were relegated from the top flight.
Hegazi moved to the Hawthorns from Al Ahly originally on loan in the summer of 2017, before making his switch a permanent one just five months later.
The 27-year-old has gone on to establish himself as one of the league’s best out-and-out defenders, and he would surely prove to be a real asset for Wolves.
Nuno’s preferred 3-4-3 system means that the addition of another central defender this summer is an absolute must, and Hegazi’s availability for just £2.5 million makes signing the Egyptian almost a no-brainer.
