Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a wonderful run of form that has seen them secure three Premier League wins in a row following their defeat to West Ham United prior to Christmas, along with progression to the next round of the FA Cup.
Gary O’Neil has got his side playing well and getting results, but it is clear he will need to add another forward or two to his squad over the next couple of weeks.
Fabio Silva and Sasa Kalajdzic have been loaned out, while Hwang Hee-Chan is at the Asian Cup with South Korea and their forward options are looking sparse, to say the least.
There have been a fair number of players linked with a move to the Old Gold, yet the latest name rumoured to be on their radar is a player who is currently thriving in the Championship
Wolves’ search for a new striker
According to Football Insider, Wolves are among a handful of teams showing Bristol City striker Tommy Conway with regard to making a potential swoop for the youngster.
The likes of Glasgow Rangers and Celtic are keen on taking him north of the border, while fellow Premier League clubs Nottingham Forest and Brentford are monitoring the player who has starred for the second-tier outfit recently.
The player still has 18 months left on his current contract, yet this could be the final chance for City to really rake in a big transfer fee for the centre-forward.
O’Neil needs someone who could arrive in the Midlands and contribute goals straight away and Conway might just be the ideal candidate for the job.
Furthermore, he might even be a better option than Kalajdzic, who had difficulty this term after recovering from a significant knee injury.
Sasa Kalajdzic progress at Wolves
When the Austrian behemoth arrived from German club Stuttgart in the summer of 2022 for a cost of £15.4 million, previous manager Bruno Lage viewed him as a sound investment.
After just 52 games for the team, the striker scored 22 goals in the Bundesliga, and it appeared that the £15 million transfer fee would be well spent should he continue to score goals in England.
Missing the entirety of his debut season was not in the script, however, after he suffered a serious knee injury on his first start for the club.
The 26-year-old managed to recover and went on to make 13 appearances for the Old Gold before moving to Eintracht Frankfurt on loan, scoring three times, yet he only managed to start three games during the first half of the season, and it was clear O’Neil did not place his full trust in the striker.
In the summer, he comes to the Midlands prepared to contend for a spot in the starting lineup, hopefully recapturing the magic that made him such a hit at Stuttgart.
Despite being five years younger than the Austrian, Conway might be a significant improvement, and the manager would have plenty of time to mold the undeveloped frontman.
