Wolverhampton Wanderers have been one of the most exciting teams to watch so far this season, even if a lack of goals hints at a vastly different perspective. 

Nuno Espirito Santo has demonstrated his credentials to thrive at this level by enabling his side to claim points against champions Manchester City, Arsenal and Manchester United.

The trio of results suggest that Wolves deserve their place at this level, but one cannot help the feeling that they could even have bettered those results with the presence of a clinical goal scorer.

The 1-1 draw with Arsenal was particularly frustrating, and it was a result which served to illuminate their need to sign another attacking player in January.

Liverpool's Divock Origi has been touted as a potential option in the British media, but Nuno would be wise to consider a vastly more experienced talent, Olivier Giroud.

The Chelsea striker has a whopping total of 72 Premier League goals to his name from 202 appearances, and his experience at this level makes him something of a veteran.

Add in the fact that he has provided 32 assists in England's top flight and it's fair to say Giroud has tangible evidence to substantiate his glowing reputation.

What Giroud lacks in pace he more than makes up for in awareness, positioning and composure, and there's no doubt that those qualities would add a telling dimension to Wolves' attack.

Giroud recently claimed (as per Mirror) that he is happy at Chelsea despite his lack of first-team opportunities this season, but the promise of regular football may prove too strong for him to turn down if his situation remains the same come January.

Raul Jimenez has showcased a sound level of technical quality and an instinctive tendency to link up with the players around him this season, which have provided Wolves with a focal point from which to build their attacks, but their lack of alternative to the Portugal international is a huge problem for the club.

With Wolves' riches to consider, there's no doubt that they have the financial power to sanction a short-term loan deal for Giroud in January - the hard part will be convincing the World Cup winner to swap London for the West Midlands.
