Wolverhampton Wanderers are now plotting a January bid for a “prolific” new striker, who has caught the eye in the Champions League this season.
Wolves looking to sign striker to boost survival chances
Wolves could barely have made a worse start to the Premier League season, having collected just two points from their first 12 matches, and they have now lost their last five games on the spin, failing to score in four of those outings.
Hwang Hee-chan, Tolu Arokodare and Jorgen Strand Larsen have scored just two league goals between them this term, with the latter looking like a shadow of his former self, having netted 14 times in the 2024-25 campaign, in what was a very encouraging debut season at Molineux.
Arokodare has insisted the players still believe they can avoid relegation, saying: “It’s a long season, 12 games have gone, we haven’t get the results we wanted but we can’t hold onto that. We have to focus on the next ones. There is the belief – we cannot lose hope now. We cannot doubt ourselves.”
However, Rob Edwards’ side clearly need some inspiration from somewhere, given that they are already nine points from safety, and they have now joined the race for a new striker ahead of the January transfer window.
That is according to a report from TEAMtalk, which states Wolves are now plotting a January bid for Union Saint-Gilloise striker Promise David, although there could be competition for his signature, with West Ham United and Leeds United also keen.
West Ham are currently leading the race for the striker, who is set to be available for a relatively low fee, with Union Saint-Gilloise willing to listen to offers of around £17.5m, despite the fact he still has four years remaining on his contract.
A January transfer battle is now on the cards, with Edwards’ side looking to sign a physical striker to complement Hwang, and there are signs he could have what it takes to propel the Old Gold to safety…
"Prolific" David could be difference-maker in the relegation battle
Hailed as “prolific” by scout Jacek Kulig, the 24-year-old enjoyed a fantastic 2024-25 campaign, chipping in with a combined 29 goals and assists in all competitions, and he has since gone on to make a solid start to the current season.
Indeed, the Canadian has put in some eye-catching performances this term, most notably in the Champions League, scoring in his side’s 3-1 victory against PSV Eindhoven and recent 1-0 win at Galatasaray.

Having proven himself at the highest level, David could make all the difference in Wolves’ battle to avoid the drop, and the fact Fosun are planning a January move is a very encouraging sign.
