# Wolves: Fresh Goncalo Ramos update emerges

**Rumoured [Wolves](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/) transfer target Goncalo Ramos is someone the club should ‘test the waters’ with in January, according to [transfer expert Dean Jones](https://twitter.com/DeanJonesSoccer).**

### The Lowdown: Ramos linked with move

Ramos is currently part of [Portugal’s squad](https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1590764026317123585) at the 2022 [World Cup](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/world-cup-2022/) in Qatar, as he hopes to make his mark on the biggest stage in football.

The 21-year-old was been [linked](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-news/wolves-goncalo-ramos-sasa-kalajdzic-latest-transfer-news-rumours-updates/) with a move to Wolves in the summer, and new manager Julen Lopetegui could see him as a strong option to come in.

Ramos has already [scored nine goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/395802/Show/Gon%C3%A7alo-Ramos) in just 11 Primeira Liga starts for Benfica this season and it could be that a move is on the cards during the January transfer window.

### The Latest: Jones makes new claim

Speaking to [*Give Me Sport*](https://www.givemesport.com/88085363-wolves-should-now-test-the-water-for-prolific-34m-striker), Jones said Wolves should table a bid in the next window:

> “I think Benfica would put a high price tag on him, that’s for sure. But in the January window, he seems like somebody that might be worth testing the water on.”

### The Verdict: Much-needed firepower

With Wolves [rooted](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/table) to the bottom of the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/), there is no doubt that additional firepower is required during the second half of the season.

Ramos is someone who could provide just that, already [scoring for Portugal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/goncalo-ramos/profil/spieler/550550) in his only senior international cap to date, as well as [bagging 28 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/goncalo-ramos/alletore/spieler/550550) in total for Benfica.

BBC broadcaster [Andy Sixsmith](https://twitter.com/SixsmithTV/status/1557644012068261890) has previously highlighted Ramos’ qualities other than just his goals, describing him as a player who is “brilliant in the air, a real clever finisher & a proper grafter up front.”

Only 21, the attacker would be a long-term solution for Lopetegui rather than a quick fix, so he could be somebody to build Wolves’ attack around for years.
