The Wolves have set their sights on a 55-time international player with a proven track record in the Premier League, as they look to strengthen their attacking options and avoid relegation to the Championship. However, Leeds United have emerged as contenders to sign one of Wolves’ top striker targets in January.
While Wolves already have talented attackers like Matheus Cunha, Jorgen Strand Larsen, and Hwang Hee-Chan, they are still searching for reinforcements to improve their chances of survival. They are rumored to be interested in former Manchester City and Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho, who recently joined Spanish club Sevilla after a successful spell in the Premier League.
Iheanacho, who scored 42 goals in 196 Premier League appearances, expressed his excitement about joining Sevilla but has struggled to make an impact in Spain. With limited playing time and minimal goal-scoring opportunities, Sevilla are open to loaning him out in January, with Leeds United reportedly leading the race for his signature despite interest from Wolves and Ipswich Town.
Although Iheanacho has shown promise in the past, his recent performances have been below expectations, raising doubts about his potential impact at a new club. While he could provide Wolves with valuable cover in attack, they may need to consider other targets before pursuing a deal for the Nigerian forward.
