Wolves add French striker to summer shortlist
Wolves are monitoring French forward Matthis Abline ahead of a potential move this summer.
The club are keen to add another forward to the squad this summer, ideally someone who can play across the front line, and Abline is among a number of strong options that the recruitment team are considering.
The 22-year-old scored 11 goals in all competitions for French top flight side Nantes last season, including nine finishes in Ligue 1.
The French youth international can play as a central striker or off both flanks and would fit Vitor Pereira's system and the profile of player they want to sign.
He has previously been linked to Leeds and Sunderland this summer, but Wolves could now swoop before the transfer window closes.
Abline came through at Rennes before loan moves to Le Havre, Auxerre and Nantes, where he then signed permanently last summer.
Alongside another forward, Wolves want to sign a right-wing-back, left-sided centre-back and central midfielder to add to the three additions they have already bought.
Wolves wanting to sign a striker does not mean they will sell Jorgen Strand Larsen, however.
The Norwegian is wanted by Newcastle but Wolves' stance remains that he is not for sale.
