According to recent reports, Wolves – as well as Premier League rivals Tottenham and Arsenal and a host of other European clubs – are interested in the summer signing of Red Bull Salzburg midfielder Dominik Szoboszlai.
In comments made by journalist Alessandro Jacobone on Twitter (via Sempremilan), the 19-year-old RB Salzburg player looks to be hot property this summer, with Jacobone sharing a picture suggesting which clubs could be interested and stating that ‘the suitors continue to increase’ for the player.
Sempremilan states that Lazio, AC Milan, Wolves, Napoli, PSG, Sevilla, Spurs, Atletico Madrid and Arsenal are all interested in the Hungary international, with La Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com) reporting that the player has a release clause of €24 million (£22 million).
TIF Thoughts…
If the reports are to be believed, interest is undoubtedly high in the 19-year-old, however, considering the season he is having, it is not overly surprising.
Over his 25 appearances in the Austrian Bundesliga, the midfielder has scored seven goals and provided a remarkable 13 assists, in addition to a further goal and assist over five appearances in the Champions League, two goals and assists in the OFB Cup and one more assist in the Europa League – taking his total 10 goals and 17 assists in 38 appearances.
While these would be impressive figures for a seasoned midfielder, the fact that Szoboszlai is just 19 years old would suggest that the youngster, who can operate in various midfield positions including attacking midfield, has a significant amount of potential.
Do you think Wolves can beat the likes of Spurs and Arsenal to the signing of Szoboszlai?
Yeah
Probably not
As such, Wolves look set to face fierce competition for the £12.15 million-rated player, although, with the club currently sitting in fifth place in the table – seven points ahead of Spurs and nine ahead of Arsenal – should Szoboszlai desire a move to the Premier League, as well as wanting to continue playing European football next season, it could be argued that Wolves would be one of his safer bets.
