Wolves are looking to complete a permanent deal for Diogo Jota in January, according to the Express and Star.
The 20-year-old is currently on a season-long loan at Wolves from Atletico Madrid and has certainly hit the ground running.
The newspaper claims that the Championship side have the opportunity to buy the attacker at the end of the season when his loan expires, but now want to try and wrap up a January move when the transfer window re-opens.
It is understood that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are lining up a “sizeable eight-figure” offer for the rising star, but that it won’t eclipse the £15million paid for Ruben Neves.
Wolves are chasing a £10million-plus deal for in-form Jota after his blistering start at Molineux, where he has scored six goals in just 12 games.
Good move for Wolves?
Jota has become a key player already for Wolves this season and has looked brilliant during his first taste of English football.
The Portugal Under-21 international has the flair to get fans off their seat and usually operates on the left wing.
He has already managed to chip in with six goals and looks like he could develop into a fantastic player.
Jota impressed last season during a loan spell with Porto and is now doing even better in England.
It would be an incredible deal if Wolves secured the playmaker on a permanent contract and he could be the difference in helping them achieve automatic promotion.

Likely to happen?
Jota has not got a look in at Atletico in the past and looks set to leave the Spanish club in the near future.
Wolves will have the opportunity to snap up the wide man at the end of the campaign, but it’s no surprise to see they want to secure a January deal after his impressive start.
He could receive attention from several Premier League clubs if he continues his good form and the Midlands club are looking to tie down his future.
It is quite likely Wolves will be able to wrap up an early deal for Jota and it would be another sign of their financial backing.
