It has been suggested that Wolves could try and prepare for life in the Championship next season if the club was too far adrift of safety.

At the moment, the gap is a whopping 14 points.

It will take a miracle for Wolves to survive, and at the moment, it is looking like a number of key players could be leaving the club while their value remains higher than if it were the summer.

And one club is now looking at Bellegarde.

Bellegarde has been one of only a few bright sparks this season for Wolves.

The Haiti international hasn’t started every single game, but he’s generally done OK when called upon. One thing is for sure, he has often been the only one willing to take a risk in and around the final third.

But Bellegarde is another of those key players who Wolves might consider offloading before their value plummets in the summer.

And according to journalists Yeni Açık and Ertan Süzgün, reporting via their YouTube channel, the player has been a target for Besiktas and there have even been negotiations.

He has been on the list of the Turkish giants. But Süzgün states that the injury Bellegarde has suffered has put the talks on hold for now.

The claim follows reports that Besiktas have also been interested in signing Emmanuel Agbadou.

He may have picked up an injury, but there will surely be some clamour from other clubs to sign him in January.

But it remains to be seen if something will happen, because it sounds like Besiktas may have some reservations due to the injury.
