Wolves: Molineux club join mix for Yunus Musah
Wolverhampton Wanderers have joined the race to sign Valencia winger Yunus Musah, according to reports.
Musah on Fosun’s radar
The 17-year-old American was formerly part of the Arsenal youth setup but opted to move to Spain in 2019 on a free transfer, and has managed to break into Los Murciélagos’ first-team.
During the current campaign, Musah has scored once from nine appearances in La Liga (TransferMarkt), averaging a match rating of 6.67 and a pass success rate of 76.7% (Whoscored).
USA teammate Gio Reyna described him as a “big player” and head coach Gregg Berhalter claimed he is a player with a “ton of potential”, illustrating that he is well-respected in his homeland.
According to 90MIN, Wolves will pursue his services alongside Everton, Leeds United and Arsenal, who are keep to re-sign their former academy starlet.
The reports added that the teenager would be keen to move back to the Premier League, with the West Midlands outfit intrigued by Musah’s ability.
Transfer Tavern Verdict
Musah marries into Fosun’s idea of improving the academy and their focus on their youth product, which makes this signing make sense for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
Having brought in the likes of Ki-Jana Hoever, Rayan Ait Nouri and Luke Matheson in the past 12 months, they appear to be looking to expand their youth portfolio.
With the January transfer window looming, Wolves will have to try and convince Musah to choose their club instead of the likes of Arsenal, which could be a challenge in itself.
