Tete would be a solid and flexible signing for Wolves

Wolverhampton Wanderers have been credited with interest in Olympique Lyonnais defender Kenny Tete.

As reported by El Desmarque, the full-back has ‘grown tired’ of his lack of opportunities for the Ligue 1 side this term and is keen to try his luck in the English Premier League.

Tete has found opportunites in the league hard to come by, with Bruno Genesio preferring to start Rafael at right-back.

The Netherlands international has made just six appearances, with a further nine coming in cup competitions.

With Real Betis and Galatasaray also said to be keen, Wolves may need to work fast to get this deal over the line if their interest is serious.

Tete’s versatility could make him a bargain

Tete is unfortunate to find himself in rotation with Rafael, as he’s a promising full-back at only 23 years old.

He is a very good attacking full-back with decent crossing ability.

What’s more, Tete is able to fill in at centre-back if required, which is sure to appeal to Nuno Espirito Santo.

Santo certainly needs cover at right-back though, with Matt Doherty having started every Premier League game so far this season.

The Irishman has been one of the team’s standout performers, but may grow tired as the season wears on.

Tete would be excellent cover and would suit Wolves’ system with wing-backs down to a tee.
