A former Molineux hero could be coming back, and fans are getting excited about it.
Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have been tantalised over the last 24 hours as reports emerged that the club could launch a serious bid to re-sign former favourite Bakary Sako.
Sako is currently at Premier League side Crystal Palace, where he has been since leaving Wolves in the summer of 2015, but he has featured just four times for the Eagles this term.
That lack of game time has led to rumours that he could be allowed to leave Selhurst Park in next month’s transfer window, likely on loan.
One club who have been immediately linked with the Mali international is his former side Wolves, for whom he starred across a three-year spell from 2012 to 2015.
Sako scored 38 goals in 124 games for the club, helping them to recover from a second successive relegation in 2013 by winning the League One title and re-establishing themselves in the Championship.
The 28-year-old was a hugely popular figure at Molineux, and his return would be seen as something of a coup for the Championship side.
A large proportion of Wolves fans on Twitter seem to agree, calling for the club to get the deal done and bring Sako ‘home’.
