# Forget Butland: Wolves should sign this £7.2m-rated PSG star instead

**Wolves fans in the Transfer Tavern are enjoying the remainder of the season after watching their side be crowned champions and earned promotion back to the Premier League.**

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side have run away with the Championship title following a major summer overhaul which saw a number of high-profile players arrive at Molineux. Former Porto captain, Ruben Neves and Atletico Madrid winger Diego Joto were crucial to their successful title bid.

[Reports](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/953299/wolves-stoke-jack-butland-goalkeeper-premier-league-championship-transfer-35-million) have suggested that Wolves will aim to make Stoke City goalkeeper, Jack Butland, their number one priority when the window reopens in the summer. The former Birmingham shot-stopper would cost the newly promoted side big money and certainly would prove a statement of intent should he move to the Black Country. However, his performances this season haven’t warranted such a price tag.

Instead, Wolves should sign PSG goalkeeper – Kevin Trapp. The French club have been [linked with a move](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2771576-report-psg-in-negotiations-to-sign-eur60m-gianluigi-donnarumma-from-ac-milan) for Gianluigi Donnarumma which could mean Trapp finds himself surplus to requirements. Valued at £7.2m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/kevin-trapp/profil/spieler/45672), he could be available for a reasonable price after failing to impress over in the French capital.

He has played just three times in Ligue 1 this campaign, but his stats from last campaign suggest he is still a quality shot-stopper. The German collected 15 clean sheets in just 24 games in the league, averaging 1.79 saves per game according to [Squawka](https://www.squawka.com/comparison-matrix#ligue_1/2016/2017/kevin_trapp/822/629/2127/0/p). So, as you can see, would be a wonderful addition for the Championship-winners.

Signing Trapp could prove to be a masterful signing while saving Wolves some money in the process.
