As per one of the latest reports, Wolverhampton Wanderers have their eyes placed on PAOK’s striker, Aleksandar Prijovic. The Wolves are galloping away from their opponents in the English second division, having collected 61 points from 26 games so far and are placed at the top of the league table. Earlier this week, they constructed a 3-0 win over Brentford and now have a substantial lead of 12 points over second-placed Derby County.
Under the stewardship of Nuno Espirito Santo, Wolves have really accelerated in a dazzling manner. Espirito Santo’s troops have been resilient at the back, creative in the middle and aggressive up front and no wonder why they have emerged as the favourites to clinch the title. However, the club is seemingly likely to not be complacent in its upcoming endeavours and given the fact that they would need more quality if they get promoted, they must be looking for players who have the potential to aid them in future as well.
Their apparent interest to sign Prijovic makes perfect sense, for the 27-year-old has truckloads of experience under his belt. Apart from PAOK, he has plied his trade with Boluspor and Legia Warsaw and has been quite successful. He was signed by PAOK for £1.6million in the January transfer window of 2017 and has scored 6 goals in 13 appearances in the Super League. Besides, he has also netted 2 times in 4 appearances in the Europa League, and no wonder why his stocks are highly rated.
Goal Cyprus reported that Leeds United have also placed him on their radar and are ready to trigger his release clause of £8.8million in his contract, which implies that Wolverhampton Wanderers have to battle their Championship rivals in order to lure him to the Molineux Stadium. Prijovic is a quality attacker who has a decent physique and is clinical up front. Besides, he is strong in the air and is an astute target-man inside the box.
He has played in England before, with Yeovil Town Northampton Town and despite the fact that it isn’t adequate, he has the calibre to flourish in English football. Further, the Serbian international works well with his teammates to hold the ball well in the final third and creates chances frequently, which make him an appealing commodity. He will inject notable quality into Wolves’ arsenal, strengthen their chances of winning the league and given his pedigree, his entry into Espirito Santo’s side will be a galvanizing one.
