Wolves have received a potentially a huge boost in their reported pursuit of Real Madrid striker Luka Jovic.

Jovic Molineux-bound?

Nuno Espirito Santo has previously hinted that he would be willing to dip into the transfer market to seek out a replacement for star man Raul Jimenez, who fractured his skull during his side's victory over Arsenal at the beginning of the month.

Reports previously suggested that an approach to take Jovic on loan was rejected, but it now appears that a U-turn has been made in relation to the Serbia international's situation.

According to AS, the 23-year-old has been given the green light by manager Zinedine Zidane to go out on loan for the rest of the 2020/21 campaign.

Despite Jovic not having the best of starts at the Santiago Bernebeu, he made his name at Bundesliga side Eintracht Frankfurt, where he scored 36 goals and provided nine assists from 75 appearances (TransferMarkt).

This led to huge praise being given to him, especially from Serbia coach Mladen Krstajic who compared him to Barcelona's Luis Suarez (via Bundesliga).

Transfer Tavern Verdict

Jovic would be a fantastic signing and would perfectly fill the boots of Jimenez.

The Serbian frontman has proven pedigree, especially in Europe, and would likely salivate at the chance of playing in the Premier League to rediscover his form, having scored just twice in 32 outings for Madrid.

Now that Jovic has been given the go-ahead to leave, time will tell if the Molineux club decide to go back in for him.
