Wolves could find themselves a ‘magic’ alternative to Che Adams this summer if they are willing to pay some money up top.
Wolves have made a fruitful start to the transfer window with Tommy Doyle signing permanently from Manchester City while Rodrigo Gomes has arrived from Braga.
Supporters should take heart from the fact that the Old Gold have gotten right to business, as Gary O’Neil is eager to improve on his 14th-place result from the previous campaign.
O’Neil has to spend in a striker because it was one position that gave him trouble in 2023–2024 if he wants to make headlines in the transfer market going forward.
Che Adams, who has a summer contract expiring at Southampton and will determine his future after Euro 2024, has been linked to the Wanderers.
Although Adams would be a good addition on a free transfer, O’Neill ought to give some thought to a player who scored more than ten goals in the Premier League the previous year.
Elijah Adebayo, a striker for Luton Town, is available this summer for £8 million.
Elijah Adebayo, a striker, has drawn interest from a number of clubs after their Premier League relegation, including Fenerbache, Bournemouth, Everton, and Crystal Palace, all managed by Jose Mourinho.
As Luton looks to offload some of its talent now that they’re in the Championship, Adebayo, 26, may be available for £8 million this summer, according to The Sun.
The Fulham academy graduate scored 18 goals in 65 appearances for Walsall before signing for Luton in 2021, and he emerged as a sought-after talent in the top flight after hitting 10 goals, including strikes against Manchester City and Arsenal in addition to a hat-trick against Brighton.
What Elijah Adebayo would bring to Wolves
Wolves supporters may sniff their nose up at a striker from a relegated Luton side but Adebayo has shown he belongs in the Premier League.
Adebayo was a prolific taker of opportunities and a beast in the air, ranking in the top 29% of European strikers for aerials won and in the top 12% for non-penalty goals.
According to FBref, the forward, who was born in London, is comparable to one of the world’s most sought-after attackers, Benjamin Sesko.
Adebayo, who was called “magic” by manager Rob Edwards for his valiant efforts with the Hatters in the previous season, is not only a deadly finisher of opportunities but also an inventive creator of them.
His success rate in taking on opponents is among the top 24% of forwards, which speaks highly of his ability to outpace defenders with his lazy running style and create chances for himself.
Moving to Wolves can put him on an even wider stage and provide him the opportunity to play with much better players, if his time at Luton was an audition for his skills.
Adebayo would undoubtedly surpass his goal total of 10 from the previous season and become a huge star at Molineux with the ingenuity and talent of Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-Chan behind the formidable striker.
