Wolverhampton Wanderers may have to reignite their interest in a mooted transfer target as their rivals hone in on his signature this summer...

What's the word?

According to Le10 Sport, Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Idrissa Gueye is a wanted man in the Premier League with West Ham and Crystal Palace whilst they claim that the Midlands outfit have cooled their interest recently.

PSG sporting director Leonardo has stated that they may need to offload players this summer in order to raise funds and it's thought that the 30-year-old is one name on the chopping block.

It remains to be seen what a deal for Gueye would look like as he signed for the Ligue 1 champions last year for £30m, picking up wages of around €75k-per-week (£68k-per-week), so he won't come cheap.

Midfield enforcer

Gueye was one of the Premier League's toughest tacklers before he swapped Everton for the French capital and his advancing years shouldn't put anyone off a move either - just take a look at Joao Moutinho.

The Senegalese powerhouse averaged 4.3 tackles, 2.2 interceptions and 0.7 dribbles in his final season at the Toffees and despite a lack of game time at PSG, he still managed 3.1 tackles across Ligue 1 and the Champions League this term, per WhoScored.

Gueye has more than proved his salt in the PL over the course of 134 matches for both Everton and Aston Villa, so surely he'd need no time to settle in whatsoever.

One of his former managers Tim Sherwood lauded the anchorman as a "monster" whilst ex-PSG captain now Chelsea colossus Thiago Silva believes Gueye is "incredible" as a ball-winning beast.

For all of Wolves' successes recently, the one thing they perhaps lack is an out-and-out defensive cog. Last season Moutinho himself - usually an attacking playmaker - averaged more tackles per game (2.4) than any other midfielder.

This is absolutely why Gueye would be a solid addition at Molineux. Jeff Shi must splash the cash at all costs.
