Wolves have confirmed the sale of Rayan Ait-Nouri, leaving fans eager to see who will step in as his replacement at Molineux.
After spending five successful years at Molineux, the Algerian has made his move to City official on Monday evening.
The transfer fee for Ait-Nouri has caused some disappointment among Wolves supporters, as reports suggest the club only received around £35 million due to a sell-on clause with Angers. In order to remove the clause, Wolves had to pay approximately £9.5 million.
Fans will certainly miss Ait-Nouri’s technical skills and flair on the pitch, leaving Vitor Pereira with the tough task of finding a suitable replacement for him.
With Ait-Nouri’s departure, speculation is rife among Molineux News about who stands to benefit or lose from the transfer.
Winners:
Hugo Bueno: The young player has a great opportunity to step up as the new left wing-back in Ait-Nouri’s absence, following a successful loan spell with Feyenoord.
Rodrigo Gomes: The versatile Portuguese youngster may see more playing time with Ait-Nouri gone, as he showcased his ability as a left wing-back in the previous season.
Losers:
Jorgen Strand Larsen: The Norwegian striker could be impacted by Ait-Nouri’s departure, as he had a strong partnership with the Algerian, relying on his creativity for goal-scoring opportunities.
Toti Gomes: Another player who may feel the effects of Ait-Nouri leaving is Toti Gomes. The duo had a great understanding on the left side of the pitch, and now Toti will have to adjust to a new playing style with the arrival of a new player.
