Hampden Park, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - June 1, 2022, Ukraine's Viktor Tsygankov reacts.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are plotting a move to sign Dynamo Kyiv winger Viktor Tsygankov, according to reports in the last 48 hours.
The Lowdown: Attracting interest
The 24-year-old has now entered the final 12 months of his deal with the Ukrainian giants, meaning that he needs to be sold in January should his club want to cash in at the final opportunity.
This contract situation appears to have caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, who know that a cut-price transfer could become available, and the Old Gold have been name-checked as a potential suitor.
The Latest: Wolves monitoring Tsygankov
According to French outlet Jeunes Footeux (via Sport Witness), Wolves, alongside West Ham and Newcastle, are all ‘keeping an eye’ on Tsygankov.
It’s stated that the attacker ‘isn’t lacking suitors’, with the trio of clubs believed to be ‘lurking’ on the off chance a future deal could be struck.
The player could be available ‘either on a free or a reduced fee in January’, with a cut-price switch being a very attractive proposition for the Wanderers.

The Verdict: Get it done…
Bruno Lage already has the likes of Daniel Podence and Adama Traore at his disposal so a new winger won’t be a priority, but if the chance to sign Tsygankov comes up, it’s surely an offer the boss couldn’t refuse.
The ‘outrageous’ talent, as dubbed by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, has made a remarkable 147 goal contributions for Dynamo (87 goals and 60 assists), and is off to a flying start this season, racking up four contributions in six across all competitions.

This cutting edge in the final third is something that Wolves have been lacking for quite some time, and Tsygankov would be the perfect man to come in and fix that.
