Wolves plot exciting summer swoop for ‘next Vincent Kompany’ as Leeds United and West Ham show interest
Wolves are keen to boost their defensive options in the summer window
Wolverhampton Wanderers are believed to be leading the charge to sign highly-rated Belgian wonderkid Koni De Winter.
The Old Gold currently have one of the worst defensive records in the league after conceding an alarming 52 goals in 24 matches.
However, the West Midlands outfit have shown signs of improvement since the January capture of Emmanuel Agbadou – and have kept back-to-back clean sheets against Aston Villa and Blackburn Rovers in the league and cup.
But with growing uncertainty surrounding the future of soon-to-be out-of-contract club captain Nelson Semedo, it is expected that Vitor Pereira will once again be in the market for defensive reinforcements, particularly if his team can fend off the threat of relegation.
Wolves have expressed a strong interest in signing talented Belgian defender Koni De Winter as they aim to revamp their backline for years to come.
The 22-year-old is a product of the highly-esteemed Juventus academy that is currently making waves with Serie A side Genoa after his loan deal from Turin was made permanent for £6.8m last summer. He is primarily a central defender but has showcased his versatility by playing as both a right-back and a left-back and even at times thriving as a central defensive midfielder.
