# Wolves: Tim Spiers drops Rayan Ait-Nouri transfer update

**Tim Spiers has dropped a promising Wolves transfer update involving Rayan Ait-Nouri.**

### The Lowdown: Ait-Nouri impresses

Ait-Nouri certainly impressed while on loan at the Midlands club in the 2020/21 season, ranking highly among his teammates in terms of average tackles (1.4), key passes (0.7), dribbles (1.2), pass success (86.1%) and crosses (0.6) per game in the Premier League ([Whoscored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers)).

His displays were that good at times that a lot of members of the Molineux faithful have since [called](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-transfer-rumours/rayan-ait-nouri-premier-league-2/) for him to be signed on a permanent deal.

### The Latest: Spiers on Ait-Nouri

Writing on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1410993454864384004), Spiers, who is a football journalist for The Athletic, has claimed that the Wanderers are moving to sign Ait-Nouri permanently:

*“They’ve renegotiated a £10m deal with a 50 per cent sell-on for Angers.*

*“Gather that Wolves retain a buyout clause, should they want to remove the sell on fee at a later date.”*

He also [added](https://twitter.com/TimSpiers/status/1411000528155328512) that his signing would be *“dependent”* on Ruben Vinagre departing to free up squad space and funds, an he has been told that the left-back is *“on the verge”* of joining Sporting Lisbon on a permanent deal.

### The Verdict: Good move

Bruno Lage will want to get the supporters on his side as quickly as possible, and there is not a better way to do that than signing Ait-Nouri, of whom they are very fond of.

Especially if Vinagre goes, WWFC will need some competition for Jonny at left-back, and Ait-Nouri can certainly provide that.

Nonetheless, at just 20 years of age, he has still got a lot of potential, and £10m could well turn out to be an absolute bargain.
