WOLVES HELD TALKS TO SIGN 28-YEAR-OLD BUT CALLED OFF £5M DEADLINE DAY DEAL

Wolves were in advanced talks to sign Strasbourg’s Ligue 1 defender Alexander Djiku in a potential £5 million deal before turning their attention to Premier League veteran Craig Dawson on transfer deadline day, according to L’Equipe.  In the end, neither player would arrive at Molineux.

And once a deal for the former hit the buffers, perhaps it was simply too late in the day to make a concerted effort for the latter.  Wolverhampton Wanderers, L’Equipe say, were in ‘advanced’ talks with Djiku earlier on Thursday. They were willing to pay around £5 million for a man who played a starring role as surprise-packages Strasbourg flirted with European qualification during an excellent 2021/22 campaign.
