IFK Gothenburg midfielder Alhassan Yusuf has revealed he came close to joining Wolves.

The Göteborgs-Posten reports Wolves tried to sign Yusuf on deadline day in England this past August, but ran out of time trying to organise a visiting visa for the Nigerian.

"They wanted to sign a contract with me and loan me to IFK in the fall, but to be completely honest I don't know how close it is now. If that happens, it happens," Yusuf tells GP.

The 19-year-old is now set to stay even next season.

"Hopefully. I'm really happy with the club, my teammates and everything around me. That clubs follow me is an encouragement and makes me work harder."
