The Lowdown: Wolves targeting Alcaraz
da doce： At the start of the window, journalist Ed Aarons claimed that Wolves were interested in signing Alcaraz in a deal that could amount to £17m.
However, it is now clear that Julen Lopetegui is going to have to fend off interest from other Premier League clubs if he wants to land the 20-year-old, with Southampton having an £8.8m bid turned down in recent days.
Not only that, but Corriere dello Sport have previously reported that both Inter Milan and FC Porto are in the mix for the youngster’s signature. (via Sport Witness)
The Latest: Jones’ update
Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, O’Rourke gave a positive verdict on the impact that the Argentinian could have at Molineux for the rest of the season:
“Like all those other teams down near the bottom of the table, goals have been a big issue for Wolves this season.
“If they could sign someone like Alcaraz ahead of some of Europe’s top clubs, it’d be a real coup for the club and give them a big boost for the second half of the season.”
The Verdict: Talented youngster
Wolves are the league’s lowest scorers, so they desperately need to bolster their ranks with some more attacking firepower, and while signing a young player unproven outside of Argentina is a risk, there are some signs that he would be able to make an instant impact at Molineux.
The starlet has been hailed as ‘gold’ by journalist Alex de Llana for his performances with Racing, and he would be a versatile option for Lopetegui to have going forward, given that he is capable of playing in central-midfield and at right-wing.
Having scored nine goals in 42 appearances for Racing last season, it is clear that Alcaraz likes to get involved in the attacking phase of play, and he could be a fantastic replacement for Matheus Nunes, who has recently been linked with a move to Liverpool.
