Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly looking to sign Moritz Bauer, but they should look towards Derby County’s Jayden Bogle instead.

Following their promotion to the Premier League in the summer, Wolves are flying high on all cylinders and making their mark in their own unique way in England’s top-flight.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s system is causing problems for many teams, including the top-six, with Wolves beating the likes of Tottenham and Liverpool during this campaign.

But with the January transfer window open, there comes the opportunity for Nuno to add to his talented his squad and the former goalkeeper should look no further than Derby County’s Jayden Bogle.

The Telegraph reported that Wolves are lining up a surprise move for right-back Moritz Bauer, who is currently playing for Stoke City in the Championship.

It is a clear indicator that Nuno wants, at the very least, cover in the right wing-back position, with Matt Doherty making it his own in recent seasons and the only senior player in that spot.

Rather than signing an experienced player, who was relegated with Stoke last season and has only played three games for them in the second tier of English football, they should look towards the talented teenager Bogle instead.

Sky Sports reported that Burnley are eyeing up a move for the 18-year-old right-back, who has the blessing to leave the club if the right offer were to come along.

Bogle’s manager, Frank Lampard stated that he has ‘proven’ he is a talent citing his performances against Manchester United and Chelsea in the League Cup earlier on in the season.

Not only that, his ability to get up and down the right flank, read the defensive side of the game and play in an attacking system is an indicator that he is tailor-made for Nuno’s system and doesn’t require a settling down period.

Added with that, as a youngster, he won’t throw his toys out of the pram demanding to start and would, at this moment, be an ideal foil for Doherty on that right-hand side.
