Wolves are in the market for new players in the coming days – and the club looking to have eyes on another striker.
Fans are slightly concerned at the moment, with Wolves having lost their first two Premier League games and not signed a new player for weeks.
Wolves got off to a positive start this summer, signing Rodrigo Gomes, Pedro Lima and Jorgen Strand Larsen.
But it has been all quiet recently, and supporters are urging the club to get busy. Wolves are in the market for new players, but appear to be operating under some restrictions again which is frustrating.
One player who does look as though he will be coming in is young defender Bastien Meupiyou, after an agreement was reached last week.
And Wolves appear to have eyes on one of his teammates at Nantes.
Wolves looking at Nantes striker Mostafa Mohamed
It has been reported by L’Equipe that Wolves are looking at a potential late swoop for striker Mostafa Mohamed.
The Egypt international has been strongly linked with a move to Saudi Arabia. But the player has apparently made it known he is not interested in going there.
The unnamed Saudi club bid £12.6 million for Mohamed, which was accepted by Nantes. But the player has not given the move the green light.
Marseille and Wolves are reported to have sounded him out as a potential signing. The two clubs are said to be assessing whether a move could be feasible.
The 26-year-old scored eight goals in 29 games last term, and also supplied a couple of assists.
The star has been with Nantes since the summer of 2022, joining on loan initially from Galatasaray. He’s scored 19 goals in 87 appearances for the club, making seven assists.
Mohamed also had some international pedigree, scoring 12 goals in 37 caps for Egypt.

Wolves are running out of time to make additions and at this point, fans just hope that sporting director Matt Hobbs can pull one or two deals out of the bag.
Mohamed has not really been a prolific player in his career. But he does offer experience, has played in the French league and has international pedigree. He plays almost exclusively as a striker as well, which is arguably what Wolves need.
There is scope for Wolves signing a new striker. Strand Larsen is currently the only out-and-out number nine in the first-team, with Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan better used in other roles.
Earlier this year, Mohamed was described by Tunisian football legend Tarak Dhiab as ‘the best Arab striker in recent times’. The former African Footballer of the Year winner said (via KingFut): “We may see Mostafa next season in the English Premier League because he is physically strong and has improved technically, and he has started scoring many goals.
“He has scored seven goals with Nantes and is still improving. He is the future of Egyptian football as a centre-forward.”
