Wolverhampton Wanderers may have to look elsewhere for an energetic midfield dynamo, with La Voix Du Nord reporting Boubakary Soumare is now out of their reach.

Apparently it could now take an offer of up to £50 million for Lille to sell the Frenchman, with Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid, and Napoli all interested.

Soumare has been enjoying a brilliant campaign over in France, and was also impressive in the Champions League which has seen his value sky-rocket.

The 20-year-old has been an ever-present in Christophe Galtier’s side, making 22 appearances so far.

La Voix Du Nord add Wolves wanted to sign Soumare in the summer, but he is more likely to join a ‘bigger’ club.

TBR’s view – Wolves’ loss

If Wolves really are out of the race for Soumare then it’s a big blow for the Midlands club.

They might be enjoying another brilliant season so far, but Soumare really would be a fantastic signing for Nuno Espirito Santo.

At the moment Wolves have two fine technicians in the form of Ruben Neves and Joao Moutinho.

But they do not have a strong, box-to-box type player who can carry the ball between the lines.

Soumare is very much that kind of player, and Wolves’ apparent loss will be another team’s huge gain if he does move next month.
