Wolves are one of a number of clubs interested in signing exciting RB Salzburg striker Benjamin Sesko this summer, according to a new transfer rumour.

The Lowdown: New striker needed

Bruno Lage has been rocked by the news that Raul Jimenez will miss the start of the Premier League season having picked up a knee injury during pre-season, while Fabio Silva has departed on loan.

Wolves will surely at least look at bringing in a new striker in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window, adding some much-needed firepower to the squad.

Now, a fresh rumour claims that Wanderers are in the mix to signing a hugely exciting talent.

The Latest: Wolves keen on Sesko

According to 90min, Wolves are eyeing up a move for Sesko, who has scored 12 goals and registered eight assists in 38 appearances for Salzburg, despite only being 19 years of age.

Manchester United and Newcastle United are also credited with interest, however, as are Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.

The Verdict: Big young talent

Sesko looks like a player of immense promise, having scored the only goal in a pre-season win over Liverpool midweek, which led to immense praise from journalist Maxi Angelo.

"Benjamin Šeško has really showcased why top clubs in Europe want him this summer against Liverpool tonight," he said.

"Incredible strength and size. Nice technique and smart movements. One goal to his name in the first half too. Very impressive, especially for being 19."

The teenager is already producing consistent end product and he is someone who could transform Wolves' attack, with Jimenez not quite the player he used to be after his serious head injury.

That being said, the calibre of clubs also interested in signing Sesko means that Wanderers could find it tough to get their man, with those mentioned likely able to offer higher wages.
