Wolves must consider Leicester City loanee.
Wolves might have made the signing of the season when they landed Joao Moutinho for just £5 million last summer.
Moutinho is a proven winner and has been a tremendous addition.
He does however turn 33 in September, and Wolves must plan ahead.
It would be smart for them to try and sign his former Monaco teammate Youri Tielemans.
Tielemans is on loan at Leicester City and has impressed in the Premier League so far.
The Telegraph report it will cost Leicester £40 million to sign him permanently.
Tielemans has been non-committal over his future.
Last week he told Nieuwsblad: “I remain a Monaco player. I am definitely not going to say anything else (smile). I’ll be back this summer and we’ll see.
“I am open to everything. For Monaco, but also for Leicester or another team.”
Tielemans has since been starring for Belgium at international level, and won praise along with Wolves ace Leander Dendoncker.
Both Tielemans and Dendoncker featured in midfield as Belgium beat World Cup quarter finalists Russia 3-1.
They won praise from Roberto Martinez, who told Nieuwsblad: “Tielemans and Dendoncker played as if they have been in the team for years. That is gratifying.”
If Wolves could pair them together at Premier League level it would be a great piece of business.
They will secure a midfield duo which will last beyond Moutinho, and even allow for a potential Ruben Neves departure, even though this is not ideal.
Tielemans is expected to leave Monaco this summer and this will be Wolves’ only chance.
It would mean a record spend, but Tielemans could be worth it.
