Wolves are looking to sign Coventry City forward Viktor Gyokeres but will need ‘some really good negotiating’, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Cunha in

Julen Lopetegui has already bolstered his attacking ranks at Molineux by bringing in Matheus Cunha. The Brazilian has arrived on an initial loan move from Atletico Madrid, although the transfer will become permanent in the summer.

The 23-year-old made his debut in the Premier League against Aston Villa on Wednesday, and it seems as if further attacking reinforcements are on the radar for the Old Gold.

The Latest: Gyokeres next?

Jones was speaking to GiveMeSport regarding Wolves and Gyokeres and if he is a genuine target at Molineux. He iterated that the recent rumours on the forward are true but warned that talks could prove tricky over the coming weeks.

When asked if the Swede was a genuine target for Jeff Shi and Wolves, the journalist replied: “Yeah, he is actually. They have moved into the picture for that signing.

“I’ve heard quite a bit around it, actually, and I’d say the one thing it’s going to take from Wolves’ point of view is some really good negotiating.”

The Verdict: Needed?

Gyokeres has been in fine form for the Sky Blues this season, scoring 12 goals in 25 Championship games. Labelled as ‘unbelievable’ by Coventry manager Mark Robins, the Sweden international has the highest shot accuracy amongst the top scorers in the English second tier at 69%.

Wolves have had their struggles in front of goal, netting just 11 times in 18 Premier League games so far this term, so adding another forward alongside Cunha could be beneficial.

Gyokeres may well be that man, but Molineux officials will need to be on their game should they enter discussions with Coventry.
