# Wolves: Liam Keen drops latest on Sasa Kalajdzic

**[Wolverhampton Wanderers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) are still in talks to sign Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic, reports reliable journalist Liam Keen.**

### **The Lowdown: Striker search**

It has been [widely reported](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/07/28/wolves-striker-search-five-british-based-players-that-could-fit-the-bill-/) the Wanderers are looking to bring in a forward addition ahead of the September 1 deadline.

In a recent press conference, manager Bruno Lage admitted his team are still on the hunt for an attacker, having [claimed](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/08/26/wolves-boss-bruno-lage-eager-to-keep-hwang-hee-chan-amid-leeds-interest/): “We want more solutions. We are in the market and we’ll try to find a different striker, a different profile to Raul.”

With Molineux chiefs also thought to be working on a deal for promising midfielder [Boubacar Traore](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolverhampton-wanderers-wolves-boubacar-traore-transfer-news-latest-rumours-lage/), a goalscorer is surely next up on the agenda.

### **The Latest: Keen’s news**

Keen has shared an update on Wolves’ striker search, confirming the name that the club are working hard to secure.

In his article for the [Express and Star](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/08/26/wolves-boss-bruno-lage-eager-to-keep-hwang-hee-chan-amid-leeds-interest/), the reliable journalist revealed that Lage has refused to discuss Wolves’ interest in Sasa Kalajdzic, despite the fact that the Midlands outfit have continued to negotiate with Stuttgart over a potential move for the Austria international.

Speaking about their striker search, Lage [added](https://www.expressandstar.com/sport/football/wolverhampton-wanderers-fc/2022/08/26/wolves-boss-bruno-lage-eager-to-keep-hwang-hee-chan-amid-leeds-interest/):

“Raul is very good in the dynamic and arrives in the box, and we want a different profile. That’s the only thing I can say now, we are looking for that.”

### **The Verdict: Get it done**

With [6 foot 7 Kalajdzic](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-kalajdzic/profil/spieler/369567) towering over Jimenez, the Bundesliga forward certainly adds an alternative option and play-style to Wolves’ limited squad.

As per FBRef, compared with positional peers across Europe over the past year, the Austrian ranks in the [94thpercentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/15f24fe7/Sasa-Kalajdzic) for aerials won, whereas the Mexico international comes in at the [65th percentile.](https://fbref.com/en/players/b561db50/Raul-Jimenez)

Praised by German pundit Marcel Reif for being able to do [“crazy things in the air”](https://www.bild.de/adblockwall.html), Kalajdzic would add an aerial threat to the Wanderers’ frontline for years to come.
