According to El Desmarque, Wolves have contacted FC Copenhagen over a possible move for winger Robert Skov.
What’s the word?
Wolves haven’t looked as though they’re willing to be too active in the transfer market yet but they have already been linked with one winger in Ivan Perisic.
Finding more depth in attack will be crucial ahead of an assault on the Premier League’s top six and in the hope of finding more goals, it looks like they’re targeting Danish wide man Skov.
El Desmarque claim that the Midlands outfit have made contact with his club over a potential move but Tottenham have done the same.
Also chasing the player according to the report are Celta Vigo, so it looks set to be a tight race to secure his signature.

Ideal man to mirror Jota
With the likes of Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa and Adama Traore struggling for form last season, finding the net just five times between them, Nuno Santo decided to operate with a two-man attack.
This meant that Diogo Jota switched from being an out-and-out winger to becoming more of a central striker, playing slightly behind Raul Jimenez.
Although a 3-4-3 formation was still utilised at times, it wasn’t particularly favourable for Nuno towards the back end of the campaign.
However, the signing of Skov could change things once more and see him mirror the impact Jota previously had on the flanks.
Playing predominantly down the left-hand side, the Portuguese had an outstanding second half of the season, finding the net on ten occasions as he used his fantastic dribbling ability to threaten defenders on a regular basis.
He’d frequently cut inside and drive at the defence, something that Skov could replicate on the right-hand side if he joined.

The 23-year-old was in phenomenal form last term, scoring 32 goals and racking up a further ten assists, too.
It was levels beyond Jota but as a left-footed player, he could have a similar effect on the right if Wolves utilised a 3-4-3 formation.
With the ability to cut inside, both Skov and Wolves’ current wide man would be a significant threat and could mirror each other’s impact from opposing directions.
Considering the lack of end product from some of their fringe players in 2018/19, this signing has the potential to be game-changing.
