Wolverhampton Wanderers have now made a late approach to sign a striker who Rob Edwards described as "brilliant" earlier this season.

As bleak as the immediate future looks for Wolves, a glimmer of hope has revealed itself in recent weeks. The impact of 18 year-old Mateus Mane was demonstrated again against Bournemouth, where he tirelessly strived to dictate the game and give Wolves a chance.

Improved recent performances had lifted the spirits at Molineux, but without fresh faces and ideas, that momentum is tarting to dissipate

Rob Edwards' chances of keeping Wolves in the Premier League could take a major hit before the January transfer window slams shut.

Fabrizio Romano reported on Sunday morning that a deal had been agreed between Wolves and Marseille over a loan deal until the end of the season for the England midfielder. There is also an option for the deal to be made permanent at the end of the season for a fee of around €7million.

Strand Larsen is the second biggest forward departure of the season after Wolves sold Matheus Cunha to Manchester United last summer. The Brazil international delivered 17 goals and six assists in all competitions last term, and the Norwegian striker clearly struggled without him.

George: Wolves had more chances, but scored no goals; Bournemouth had fewer chances, but got two goals. Just not good enough.

The West Yorkshire club have decided on a final offer for the Norwegian striker, according to a reliable source

Wolves have beaten several big clubs to the signing of Bromley attack Dapo Anunlopo, sending him straight into their academy set-up.
