Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in Lyon enforcer Lucas Tousart this summer.

According to Calciomercato, Wolves have joined Serie A club Inter Milan in the pursuit of the 22-year-old.

The report details that both clubs are keen on the France Under-21 international, who has just had an impressive campaign in Ligue 1 with Lyon.

Tousart made 42 senior appearances across all competitions last season, which included plenty of minutes in the Champions League.

The defensive midfielder is currently away on international duty with France’s Under-21s side, who got the better of England in a 2-1 victory recently.

TBR’s View:

Tousart is an exciting young talent that is already an important player for Lyon and looks like he could be a force in the Premier League if he moves to England.

The deep-lying playmaker is tidy in possession and would be a positive addition if Wolves manage to sign him

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo needs to strengthen his squad at Molineux for the new season, as they have the added bonus of European football to go with their domestic games.

Wolves have the likes of Ruben Neves, Joao Moutinho and Leander Dendoncker competing for spots in the centre of the park and Tousart would be healthy competition.
