After the sale of Neto to Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers keen on signing Koleosho as replacement

After the sale of Pedro Neto to Chelsea, Wolverhampton Wanderers are targeting a replacement for the Portuguese forward with Nigerian winger Luca Koleosho said to be on their radar.

According to Sky Sports, Wolves are keen on signing the Burnley forward before Friday's deadline for this summer's transfer window.

Neto was one of the vital players for the Wanderers, and his departure has left a big vacuum in Gary O'Neil's side, who are yet to pick a point in the Premier League this season.

With the huge defeat at home to Chelsea on Sunday, O'Neil will be keen on bolstering his squad before the end of the transfer window, with Koleosho being one of the players he would like to bring over to the Molineux before the end of this transfer period.

The 19-year-old played in the Premier League last season, featuring in 15 games and scoring one goal before his season came to an abrupt end due to a knee injury last December.

The American-born winger has returned to full fitness, featuring in Burnley's opening two Championship games and has opened his goal-scoring account as well, scoring a goal in the 5-0 thrashing of Cardiff City.

Coincidentally, he could feature when the Clarets face Wolves in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday at the Molineux.
