Wolverhampton Wanderers could be set to round off an already impressive transfer window with at least another signing or two as Julen Lopetegui aims to bolster his squad.

According to Spanish outlet Sport, the Old Gold are keen on signing Barcelona winger Abde Ezzalzouli after he has impressed while out on loan at La Liga side Osasuna this season.

The report indicates that Xavi has been following his progress this term and plan on having him in the first-team squad ahead of the 2023/2024 campaign, which could mean a January move for the player is unrealistic.

A summer option could be the most likely outcome if Barcelona decides against keeping him and he could be an excellent fit for Wolves ahead of next season if Lopetegui still remains keen on signing the youngster.

The 21-year-old has played just 12 times this season while out on loan at Osasuna, however, he impressed after breaking through into the Catalan giant’s first team last term, playing ten times while scoring twice, making 0.6 key passes and creating two big chances, suggesting the pressure of playing for Barcelona didn’t faze him.

Xavi described Ezzalzouli, Gavi, and Ronald Araujo as players “bursting with personality” last season as they were making their inroads into the first-team, while the winger is also statistically similar to Hirving Lozano, who has been one of the most consistent forwards in Europe over the previous few seasons.

According to FBref, Lozano is the sixth-most similar player to Ezzalzouli across Europe’s top leagues, and given that the Mexican has registered 109 goal contributions across spells at PSV Eindhoven and Napoli, it certainly isn’t a bad comparison to have.

This season has seen the two players register similar statistics with regard to assists (three to two), shots per match (2.93 to 2.31), goal-creating actions (seven to three), and crosses (34 to 17).

It's obvious both players pose a clear attacking threat from out wide and while the Moroccan international is still raw, his potential appears to be limitless and he could develop into a winger of the calibre of Lozano in the next couple of seasons if he gains regular game time.

The Wolves faithful may have to wait until the summer for any potential move to materialise, but it could well be worth the wait.
