Report: Wolverhampton Wanderers must wait for striker target

Wolverhampton Wanderers are unlikely to be given the green light to sign Lassina Traore during the January transfer window.

According to De Telegraaf (via Voetbal Primeur), Wolves and West Ham United are both interested in securing the services of the Ajax striker.

However, management at the Eredivisie club are unwilling to sanction a transfer for the 19-year-old at this point.

Traore has been a regular in Ajax’s first-team squad this season, scoring nine goals with nine assists in 18 appearances in all competitions.

The Burkina Faso international hit the headlines earlier this season, scoring five goals in a 13-0 victory over VVV-Venlo.
