Wolves are amongst a number of clubs monitoring the situation of Liverpool forward Divock Origi as speculation mounts that the Belgian international may be allowed to leave Liverpool in January.
The 25-year-old finds himself very much on the fringes of the first-team under Jurgen Klopp, and has featured in just 7 games so far this season, starting only in cup competitions.
The arrival of Diego Jota at the club during the last transfer window has further pushed down the pecking order at Anfield, and with concerns that his lack of opportunities may cost him a place in the Belgium squad for next summer’s European championships, Origi may be keen to force the issue.
Newcastle, Borussia Dortmund, and Club Brugge are also said to be interested in Origi.
Wolves are in the market for a new striker because of the injury to Raul Jímenez who is recovering from the fractured skull he received playing against Arsenal.
