According to Sky Sports Italia reporter Gianluca Di Marzio, Wolves are still firmly in the race to sign Dinamo Zagreb's rising star Dani Olmo this month.

What's the word?

He claims that the west Midlands outfit have offered the highest amount for him so far, totalling around €30m (£25.5m) with add-ons included amidst interest from AC Milan and RB Leipzig.

It's believed that the Bundesliga side offered just €16m (£13.6m), which was soon rejected by the Croatian league champions.

Dinamo Zagreb would rather a deal be complete now instead of the summer.

Wolves have held a long-term interest in the Spanish playmaker dating back to the summer where original links were reported by Sportske Novosti, while the club have continued to scout him this season as per the same news outlet.

System change, Nuno?

Olmo is a highly-rated graduate of the renowned La Masia academy, but as a player that is primarily deployed in the number ten system, he doesn't seem like the greatest fit for Wolves boss Nuno Santo at first.

However, the Portuguese chief hinted towards a change in attitude at the weekend after a switch to a 3-4-1-2 formation paid serious dividends as they came from behind to defeat Southampton - it is the first time they have ever played that system with left-winger Pedro Neto sitting in the hole.

If Nuno wants to continue to play that way, then Olmo could be the perfect fit, and in addition to that, his proven versatility playing on the wing and upfront means he wouldn't be completely defunct if the above system was merely a one-off.

The 21-year-old has been in sizzling form this campaign, scoring eight goals and assisting seven more in 22 appearances, per Transfermarkt, which includes a strike against Manchester City in the Champions League as he firmly lives up to the hype of being the next Luka Modric.

"He's become the team's best player, and maybe even the best player in the modern era at Dinamo. People compare him to Luka Modric, who started off as an attacking midfielder. You can draw similarities between them - as the next great player who is even outdoing Modric's time at Dinamo."

He's also been handed glowing praise by former Barcelona boss Pep Guardiola, who would have seen a glimpse of him before he swapped Spain for Zagreb in 2014.

"He was in the youth of Barcelona and normally who plays there is a good player. He had the courage to move to Croatia and it was a good choice. He was one of the best players of the European Under-21s with an incredible work-ethic."

Wolves have a desperate need to make additions before the window closes next week, and a move for Olmo would not only help in that sense, but it would also be a serious statement of intent as they'd be beating off several European heavyweights to clinch him.

Call yourself a Wolves expert? How much did each of these January signings cost?

It can only help their quest to break into the top six of the Premier League and advance through the knockout stages of the Europa League too.
