Wolverhampton Wanderers are in the hunt for European football this season and it’s been a great return to the top flight at Molineux.

At the heart of the team’s success has been a strong Portuguese continent which have blended excellently with their teammates.

Manager Nuno Espirito Santo could do with a few additions to bolster his thin squad next year and should be looking at more attacking options.

Wolves should turn their attention to Lille striker Rafael Leao, who has impressed in Ligue 1 this season.

The Portugal Under-21 international is a highly-rated talent and reportedly has admirers in the Premier League.

According to the Daily Mail, Everton have checked on the 19-year-old that has drawn comparisons to Kylian Mbappe.

The report details that Lille are braced for interest in him this summer even though they would like to keep him.

Wolves should hijack interest in the centre-forward and considering offering him a switch to English football with them.

Leao left Sporting Lisbon in the summer and has settled extremely quickly in France with Lille.

He’s made 21 appearances across all competitions this campaign, scoring seven goals and supplying two assists in return.

The speed machine is a nuisance for defenders running in behind, but also offers a physical presence too and could be ideal for Wolves in attack.

Even if Wolves activate the £30million clause (Express and Star) to sign Raul Jimenez permanently in the summer, they could still do with some more ammunition to help out.
