Wolverhampton Wanderers have made an enquiry to sign Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, according to the Daily Mail.
The Lowdown: Boly set to leave
Bruno Lage will be in the market for defensive reinforcements to find a suitable replacement for Willy Boly, who is expected to complete a move to fellow Premier League rivals Nottingham Forest in the coming days amid interest from the Midlands.
The 31-year-old has now entered the final year of his contract at Molineux and is yet to feature this season, but it sounds like Wolves have already identified his ideal successor.
The Latest: Wolves make Nelsson contact
According to the Daily Mail, Wolves have ‘asked about a deal’ for Nelsson, as a result of Lage ‘wanting to bring in another defender’ before the end of the window.
It’s stated that the Old Gold are ‘keen’ on the £20m-rated colossus, having established himself and proven his worth in Turkey since arriving there last summer.
The Verdict: Get it done…
It would be a massive coup for Wolves to land Nelsson, so they need to do everything possible to get this deal over the line.
The centre-back, dubbed a ‘monster’ by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, was an absolute rock at the heart of Galatasaray’s backline last season, averaging 3.9 clearances and winning 3.2 of his aerial duels per Super Lig game, via WhoScored.
Nelsson is also expected to be named in Denmark’s squad for the World Cup later this year so would bring bags of high-level experience and leadership qualities to Molineux.
