Chinese striker currently with Espanyol - Wu Lei. Hasn't got a particularly impressive scoring record for Espanyol though. And he would come with a ready-made song - Sam the Sham's old hit 'Wu-Lei Bully' https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2020/07/05/report-wolves-cool-interest-in-espanyol-striker-wu-lei/
Centre-back from Wigan. Makes me think we are preparing for life in the Championship. https://the72.co.uk/177925/wigan-athletic-star-wanted-by-west-ham-and-watford/
Really we do need some younger players but with quality. We either seem to have a load of over 30s or kids like Sarr/Pedro. No real middle ground.
Trouble for next season regardless of what division we are in is the "break" will be pretty short so we'd have to make much needed changes to the squad pretty quickly and maybe even have to look for another manager! We might not have time for long drawn out deals like the Sarr one but then don't want to panic buy as I think we do a lot.
If recent reports are to be believed, we have been actively on the hunt for a while now. *The above Brazilian *This guy - https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co...s/watford-leeds-celtic-chase-croatian-4305574 - a Croatian centre back currently playing for Benfica *Wigan defender Cedric Kipre *Peterborough striker Ivan Toney *Barcelona's Jean-Clair Todibo - interest still alive a couple of weeks ago. and the will they/won't they return sagas of loanees Sanchez, Estupian and Hernandez. They all do seem to fit the urgent requirements we have - defenders and attackers.
Been linked to him for a while. Any transfer must depend on if we stay up... And well hopefully they actually want to come!
If this is true - why on earth are we considering selling him when we need him ourselves?

Not a rumour, just newspaper speculation - but worth thinking about. Chelsea's Michy Batshuayi. https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co...uld-forgotten-chelsea-striker-breathe-4323045
