Wolverhampton Wanderers had a tough time in their campaign during the last season as they finished at the 15th position in the Championship. However, the Wolves are looking to not repeat the mistakes of the last term in this one and get themselves positive results as they take the field in the 2017/18 Championship campaign, which is already underway.
The Wolves have made a good start to the season, having won their first match in the Championship and are intending to repeat the result in the forthcoming matches as well. Meanwhile, they are also trying to take advantage of the ongoing transfer window and are eyeing a number of options to be added to their roster, especially in the attacking front.
One such player, who has been on the radar of the Championship club for quite a long time now, is Jordan Rhodes, currently playing for fellow Championship side Sheffield Wednesday. The Scottish international has been attracting the eyes of the Wolves team management for some time and they are looking to bag him for this season to boost their attack.
The player has been one of the few players to boast of having a record of scoring a number of goals for different sides in the Championship level and is considered to be one of the most efficient strikers in the competition for the last few years.
However, since moving to Sheffield Wednesday in the last term on loan, which became permanent last month only, Rhodes has not been able to be at his best and has scored only three goals in the 21 matches for the side. Despite this recent form, the player is hailed as one of the most highly regarded strikers, given his ominous record in the Championship.
Having spent the lion’s share of his career with clubs like Blackburn Rovers and Huddersfield Town, the 27-year-old striker also shone for Middlesbrough before moving to Sheffield Wednesday last season. A veteran of a whopping 390 games, the Scottish international can undoubtedly be a very important inclusion to the Wolverhampton Wanderers side for the new season, providing their attack with the much-needed impetus.
The 27-year-old forward is known for his blistering pace and an eye for goals. His predatory instincts in front of the goal can make it difficult for defenders of the opposition, along with his brilliant shots from long as well as close range, which can find the back of the net with ease.
