Wolves are closing in on Manchester City’s Oleksandr Zinchenko.
Zinchenko will cost around £16 million, and this may not be the first time Wolves end up breaking their transfer record this summer.
The newly promoted side are busy trying to put together a squad capable of challenging for a top 10 or even top six place, and buying a player from the reigning champions is a smart move.
One of Zinchenko’s strengths is his versatility, able to play in midfield or at full-back.
With Romain Saiss showing at the World Cup that he can play in central defence, Zinchenko’s arrival gives Wolves multiple options at multiple positions.
One notable aspect about this reportedly imminent transfer is that it came out of nowhere, with no lengthy transfer saga foreshadowing it.
Wolves are being run very impressively behind the scenes and Zinchenko is just the latest reason why fans are excited about the reason ahead.
