Wolves are 'in talks' with Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic over a summer move to Molineux, according to an update from reliable journalist David Ornstein.

The Lowdown: Striker badly needed

It is no secret that Wanderers are lacking attacking quality currently, with Raul Jimenez not looking the force he once was and Pedro Neto being linked with a move to Arsenal.

Bruno Lage's side have been too goal-shy over the past year or so and it arguably ended up costing them a top-four finish in the Premier League last season, with the defensive side of things impressive.
