Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly eyeing a move to sign Senegal international Keita Balde, who is on loan at Inter Milan from Monaco.

According to TuttoMercatoWeb, the attacker’s loan at Inter could be cancelled in January and Wolves could be keen on bringing him to Molineux.

The 23-year-old has struggled to settle at the San Siro this campaign, as he has struggled for minutes in the side and only managed to chip in with one assist.

But he’s a highly-rated talent that could be a real addition to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and inject some quality in the final third if they manage to obtain him.

Balde is a speed machine that can play anywhere across the frontline and is often a tricky threat on the wing with his pace.

The African flyer managed 16 goals in Italy with Lazio back in the 2016/17 season, while he was directly involved in 19 goals for Monaco in the last campaign.

He’s not quite enjoyed success on his return to Italy with Inter, but that shouldn’t deter Wolves and he’s still a rising talent with massive potential.

Wolves’ weak area this camapign has been in front of goal, where they have managed just 12 Premier League goals from the same amount of games.

There would certainly be some risk behind signing Balde, but if he rediscovers his top form he could light up the Premier League and give the club’s current wide men some much-needed competition.
