# Wolves: Journalist claims Bruno Lage wants a striker in January

**Wolves are looking to sign a new striker before the end of the January transfer window, according to reliable journalist Sami Mokbel.**

### The Lowdown: Wolves continue impressive form

Wanderers picked up yet another impressive Premier League win on Saturday afternoon, battling their way to a 2-1 victory away to Brentford. Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves were the goalscoring heroes for Wolves, who have now [won four games in a row](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/wolverhampton-wanderers/spielplandatum/verein/543) in all competitions.

Despite Bruno Lage’s side excelling at the moment, there could still be a need to bring in new players, ensuring that they keep improving the squad and move in the right direction.

### The Latest: Journalist talks up striker move

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1826238-wolves-transfer-news-key-addition-at-forefront-of-lages-mind-ahead-of-january-deadline), Mokbel claimed Wolves are after a striker this month in order to add more firepower in the final third.

He said: “A striker for them, I’m sure, would be at the forefront of Bruno Lage’s mind. Jimenez is back, but they certainly want more goals and more of a different kind of threat than he would offer, as good as a player he is.”

### The Verdict: Makes complete sense

While Wolves have been increasingly strong as the season has progressed, they certainly haven’t been renowned for their goalscoring prowess.

They have [only scored 19 times in 21 league games](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/wolverhampton-wanderers/table) – 19th-placed Watford have four more – and both Hwang Hee-chan and Raul Jimenez lead the way with just [four goals apiece](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton-Wanderers), highlighting the need for more ammunition in attack.

With Adama Traore [seeming likely to join Tottenham](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/wolves-transfer-rumours/wolves-adama-traores-move-to-tottenham-edges-closer/), the money should hopefully be there to spend on a striker in January if that deal goes through during the week, hopefully making Wolves even more potent in the process.
