Wolves have been named as an interested party in signing FC Midtjylland midfielder Emiliano Martinez.
Martinez, is not to be confused with Aston Villa keeper who bares the same name.
Instead this Martinez is a Uruguayan midfielder currently plying his trade in Denmark, but has drawn a lot of interest thanks to his performances of late.
Wolves are said to be joining West Ham and Everton as clubs who are looking at signing the 23-year-old.
Wolves ‘plot move’ for Martinez
According to reports via Birmingham World, Wolves hold a strong interest in the defensive destroyer.
Wolves likely see Martinez as the ideal replacement for Ruben Neves as the deepest midfielder.
Martinez has racked up lots of experience in his young career, and has also made his senior bow for Uruguay’s national team.
With a market value of £34.4million on TransferMarkt, he could be a bargain deal for whoever picks him up this summer.
Who is Martinez?
Martinez is without a doubt a more defensively minded signing than the player he replaces.
FBRef suggests that his main qualities come in his tackling in which he ranks in the 99th percentile and also in his blocking.
He is also proficient in his interceptions, clearances and wins nearly three quarters of his aerial duels, helped by his stature standing at 6’0 tall.
It is unconfirmed the reliability of reports however it is a move many Wolves fans would likely welcome.
