Nuno wants competition for Matt Doherty and Victor Moses could be perfect

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Nuno Espirito Santo is keen to bring in some competition for right wing-back Matt Doherty in January.

That’s according to a report from the Birmingham Mail, who also claim the Portuguese tactician wants another striker and another central playmaker.

Doherty has been in fine form since Wolves’ return to the Premier League, starting all nine of their games in the competition, scoring two goals and assisting twice, as well as being solid defensively like his colleagues.

The Republic of Ireland international, who signed for the club in 2010 from Irish side Bohemians, has started very brightly but if Nuno feels the need the strengthen, he should look no further than Chelsea star Victor Moses.

Moses wants pastures new

Former Nigerian international Moses has been cast aside at Stamford Bridge this season by new manager Maurizio Sarri.

He was a regular feature of Antonio Conte’s side, but Sarri has opted to shift Cesar Azpilicueta to right-back and ditch his predecessor’s three-man defence with wing-backs.

It was a system that really suited Moses, but a change at management level appears to have placed his future at the club in doubt.

The Mirror report that he is now considering his options.

He’d be an ideal fit at Wolves

Wolves use the 3-4-3 formation that Moses became so used to last season and the season before.

It wouldn’t be such a bad move for Nuno to consider Moses, if he felt up for challenging Doherty for the starting right wing-back spot at Molineux.

Moses is still only 27, meaning he is pretty much in his peak. On his day he is a top quality full-back and would add some serious squad depth for Wolves.
