Wolves are reportedly trying to sign Aaron Cresswell – and there is perhaps one Molineux star who would love to see him join.
Wanderers have supposedly bid £2.5 million for the 33-year-old.
The Hammers are said not to be happy with that offer, and are looking for about £5 million.
There is definitely work to be done by Wolves if they want the player.
But it would be a fascinating move if it came to fruition.
Left-back was probably not a position many felt the club would address this summer.
But Cresswell is of interest, and there’s one Wolves player who would probably just love this deal to happen.
Sasa Kalajdzic could reap the rewards playing in the same team as Aaron Cresswell could
At the start of the new season, Wolves will have Sasa Kalajdzic available again.
The Austria international lasted just 45 minutes of his debut last season after he sustained an ACL injury.
It was a cruel blow for him and who knows how differently Wolves’ season could have gone had he not spent it all on the sidelines.
But Kalajdzic is back – and he will no doubt be hungry to make up for lost time.
And he would surely welcome Cresswell to Molineux with open arms given his aerial prowess.
Being strong in the air isn’t Kalajdzic’s only strength. He definitely falls into the ‘good feet for a big man’ category. Indeed, before his move to Wolves, the Bundesliga’s official website said of him: “The Austrian boasts a lethal left peg, plays his part in the build-up, has good feet, and can strike the ball with real finesse.”
But there is no denying that he’s a threat when players get the ball into the box. It is certainly worth looking at some of the goals he scored for Stuttgart.
Cresswell is well known for having an excellent crossing and set-piece ability.
The 33-year-old has been putting great balls into the box for years in the Premier League, and has racked up 37 assists for West Ham since he signed. That’s a great return for a left-back.
Kalajdzic is 6ft 6in and so the onus is on the players in wide areas to give him something to attack.
Cresswell has the potential to do that. So it’d be no surprise if Kalajdzic had everything crossed for this proposed transfer to happen.
