Wolves are building towards an extremely exciting summer transfer window if reports of late are to be believed.
The likes of Lucas Ocampos and Allan Saint-Maximin have both been touted with making a switch to Molineux but will Bruno Lage be able to secure them?
What's the word?
Unfortunately, it looks as though their hopes of securing a deal for Saint-Maximin may have been quashed.
That comes courtesy of Fabrizio Romano who claimed there is nothing concrete in rumours linking the Frenchman with a move away from Newcastle United.
He said on the Que Golazo YouTube channel: "So at the moment, for Saint-Maximin, still nothing concrete, but let’s see in the coming weeks what happens.”
90min had initially suggested that Wolves and Everton were both interested in securing his services.
Supporters surely gutted
Considering just exciting Saint-Maximin can be, this news is unlikely to please much of the Molineux fanbase.
After all, there is plenty of uncertainty surrounding their forward line ahead of the summer so it is absolutely imperative they have some targets lined up.
Adama Traore could still move to Barcelona while Wolves have a deal in place, should they choose to utilise it, to sign Trincao from the Catalan giants on a permanent basis.
However, judging by the fact that both players have contributed to a combined haul of just two goals in the Premier League this term, neither should be long-term options.
Yet, in Saint-Maximin, they'd find a player capable of not only excelling in areas where Traore thrives - pace and dribbling - but also someone who is capable of providing more end product in the final third.
The 25-year-old livewire has racked up a supremely impressive haul of 4.3 dribbles per match in 2021/22, a number that actually eclipses that of Traore who has managed 4.2 in comparison.
His five goals and three assists are also a better tally than the energetic Spaniard, proving he'd be a superb acquisition this summer.
Sadly, if you believe Romano, a deal now looks unlikely. Wolves supporters will have every right to be gutted as a result.
