Wolves are among numerous Premier League clubs who are interested in signing Flamengo striker Pedro this summer, according to renowned journalist Guillem Balague.

The Lowdown: Pedro impressing in Brazil

The 24-year-old is a key player for the Brazilian giants, standing out with his attacking prowess in recent years. He has scored 38 goals in 97 appearances for Flamengo, also registering eight assists, with Transfermarkt valuing him at £10.8m.

The Brazilian's current deal doesn't expire until the summer of 2025, but there appears to be strong interest in his signature.

The Latest: Wolves linked with move for Pedro

Taking to Twitter on Saturday, Balague claimed that Wolves are keen on signing Pedro for a potential $20m (£15.2m), but they face stiff competition from a number of English clubs.

The journalist revealed: "Flamengo doesn't sell to rivals, but would sell to European clubs for around $20m. And there are clubs looking at him: Betis, Sevilla, Brighton, Southampton, Wolves, Palace."

The Verdict: Exciting summer addition

Bruno Lage will suerly be eyeing up summer reinforcements at the end of the season in order to enhance the depth in his squad and ensure that Wolves continue their upward trajectory.

Pedro could be viewed as a long-term replacement for Raul Jimenez, with the Mexican turning 31 later this year and arguably not quite the same player after his serious head injury, scoring just six times in the Premier League this season.

Admittedly the 24-year-old's only experience in Europe is four brief appearances for Fiorentina, but he is at a good age in terms of being mature enough to succeed in a new country while still having his peak years ahead of him, in all probability.
