French website Le Score have claimed that Wolverhampton Wanderers are set to complete the signing of teenage left-back Rayan Ait Nouri from French club Angers SCO – amid interest from Real Madrid and other European heavyweights.

Ait Nouri, 19, is already a three-time France Under-21 international and caught the glances of onlooking admirers last season. He played 17 times in Ligue 1.

The latest report claims Wolves are set to complete the sigining of Ait-Nouri despite interest from Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Atletico Madrid. Super agent Jorge Mendes has facilitated a move.

It is believed the teenage star is to sign a four-year contract at Wolves with reports claiming Ruben Vingare could be on his way to Greek side Olympiacos. A previous report from Le Quotidien Du Foot claim Ait Nouri is valued at £31million.

TBR’s view – Ait Nouri a proper talent, but needs game time

The reason Ait Nouri has shown enormous promise is because he made himself first choice at Angers in the top tier of French football. To reach his potential, Ait Nouri must be given the chance to remain first choice at his next club.

Wolves boast Spaniard Jonny, but he remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury while Vinagre could leave. Ait Nouri then certainly has a chance of becoming first choice at Wolves – while new signing Marcal would provide competition.
