This has been a strange season for Wolves and with the transfer window due to open imminently, it could get a lot worse.
But why is that the case?
What’s the word?
Wolves have had a rollercoaster few weeks, beating Arsenal and Chelsea but being defeated by Liverpool, Aston Villa and Burnley.
Without Raul Jimenez, they are missing their talisman but that shouldn’t be their main concern at the moment, it should be Adama Traore.
Reports emerged a few weeks ago that the Old Gold had become frustrated with the Spaniard’s contract situation and the latest news now claims he could exit.
According to 90min, Leeds are interested in signing Traore and he could be reunited with Victor Orta, the Whites’ director of football who worked alongside him at Middlesbrough.
Having already sold Diogo Jota in the last market, it would not be the greatest idea to lose another of their prized assets.
Who will benefit?
If Wolves do indeed sell Traore, someone who could cost Leeds around £40m, then they need to unleash a specific player lurking in the academy.
That happens to be winger Theo Corbeanu, an 18-year-old talent with the world at his feet. Like Traore, he is a frightening attacker capable of beating opponents, scoring goals and assisting them for his teammates.
So far this term, the Romanian has four goals and one assist in nine Premier League 2 outings, behind hailed considerably along the way.
U23 boss James Collins said earlier this year: "He’s athletic, tall, can head it, can defend, can dribble past people and score, he can shoot, he can pass, he’s both footed, he’s got a bit of everything."
Collins then added: "Theo can be anything he wants to be. He’s an outstanding prospect."
He may not have come through La Masia as Traore did, but Corbeanu clearly has immense qualities, ones that have great similarities to a host of players in Wolves’ attack.
Just think of Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence for instance. These types of tricky individuals thrive instantly in Nuno Santo’s team.
Corbeanu could do the same if unleashed.
