Ledge’s outfit is keen to add more firepower with Raul Jimenez the club’s only natural No. 9.

The Mexican scored just six goals last season as he struggled to regain his best form after returning to Premier League action in November 2020 following a horrific skull fracture.

Wolves are also believed to be interested in West Ham defender Craig Dawson, who is believed to be considering life away from London Stadium.

 

While Aston Villa were considered to be at the fore as they looked for solutions to their defensive issues, Wolves have made it clear that they are also interested in Dawson’s services.

Last season, Dawson was named in the Europa League’s UEFA squad for his work during West Ham’s race to the semi-finals of the second European competition.
