Wolves are reportedly ready to make a bid for Ez Abde – but competition for the youngster is very strong.
According to La Razon, the Barcelona forward – who is on loan at Osasuna – is the subject of interest from many clubs, and the publication say that it’s currently ‘anyone’s guess’ where he could end up.
It is stated that in principle, he will return to Barca in the summer.
He will be looked at as a possible first-team option.
But Barca could also seek to cash in.
Osasuna would love to take him again. Atletico Madrid and Real Betis are also mentioned as potential next destinations.
But interest in Abde extends beyond Spain.
A number of Premier League clubs are keen. Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest Wolves are all said to be circling.
These clubs are ‘ready to bid’ for the Morocco international, whose full name is Abdessamad Ezzalzouli.
The 21-year-old has enjoyed a good season on loan at Osasuna.
He’s played 23 games and scored three goals and made two assists. While the numbers aren’t spectacular, Abde has seriously impressed with the way he has played.
He’s an electric player, known for his fantastic dribbling and pace. He is able to beat defenders in one-vs-one situations with ease.
Football Talent Scout recently ran a feature on Abde, who is an international teammate of former Wolves star Romain Saiss.
They said of him: “Simply put, Abde Ezzalzouli is already one of the most sensational on-ball players in Europe. He is incredibly technically refined for his age, and whilst he isn’t the finished product yet he will do well to improve on his dribbling ability.”
Ez Abde could be a top player in the future and Wolves are right to be considering bid
Wolves’ love of a wide forward seemingly knows no bounds.
But the club are right to be tracking Abde, who has serious potential.
It could be that Barca do not let him leave this summer and try to get him some minutes with the first-team.
But if that is not the case then Wolves ought to try and sign him.
With Adama Traore looking set to leave, Abde could be a great replacement for the Spaniard.
Obviously there are no players that can bring what Traore does. But Abde is a livewire and has the potential to really excite.
Of course, any move this summer would be reliant on Wolves remaining in the Premier League.
