Wolves have been boosted in their pursuit of Barcelona youngster Riqui Puig, with a deal for AC Milan midfielder Frank Kessie possibly leading to his departure.
The Lowdown: Wolves linked with Puig move
Bruno Lage will be eyeing up new signings in the summer transfer window, as he looks to bolster his squad and ensure Wanderers keep moving in the right direction.
One player who Wolves have been linked with is Puig, with the 22-year-old struggling for minutes at Barca this season, with only one La Liga start coming his way.
The Spaniard looks surplus to requirements under Xavi moving forward and it could be that he moves on at the end of the season.
The Latest: Wanderers given fresh boost
According to Sport [via Sport Witness], Barca are looking to sign Kessie from Milan in the summer, which could then spell the end for Puig at his boyhood club.
That could then allow Wolves to snap him up on a cut-price fee, with his current deal expiring in the summer of 2023.

The Verdict: Exciting potential signing
Puig could be a superb signing Wolves, bringing youth and technical ability to the midfield, hopefully alongside the more deep-lying pair of Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves, assuming both stay put.
The youngster has an incredible 93.5% pass completion rate in both the league and the Europa League this season, highlighting his metronomic quality on the ball.
Puig is at an age where he should only improve in the coming years, too, potentially developing into a key man at Wolves instead of a bit-part player at Barca.
