Adam Reach wanted by Wolves, two years after they first targeted him

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in the signature of Sheffield Wednesday’s in form left-winger Adam Reach. The Sun is reporting that the Premier League newbies have been sending scouts to watch the 25-year-old in action this season.

He would certainly be the perfect player for Wolves. Capable of playing as a left-winger or a left wing-back, he would provide Nuno Espirito Santo with plenty of options.

Although this season he has played a more central role for the Owls. His form has justified it, with five goals and two assists in 13 games. Two of those goals were wonderstrikes against Leeds and West Brom.

This, however, is not the first time that Wolves have wanted Reach.

In the summer of 2016, they were one of several teams keen to sign the player.

The Express and Star reported that Wolves wanted to bring him to Molineux from Middlesbrough that summer.

It came after a brilliant season on loan at Preston North End, who were also said to be keen.

However, things soon changed at Wolves. A month after the links with Reach, Wolves were taken over by the Fosun Group and their links with Jorge Mendes saw bigger fish being targeted.

Reach joined Wednesday instead, in a deal reported to be worth a club record £5 million by the Sheffield Star.

Now, this pre-Fosun target is back on the Wolves radar. However, he is going to cost a lot more than £5 million two years on.
