Wolves sports chief Hobbs confirms striker signing search

Wolves sports chief Matt Hobbs admits they're studying the January market for a new striker.

Wolves have sent Sasa Kalajdzic and Fabio Silva away on-loan this month.

Hobbs explaind on the Wolves website: “We've been looking for a while, but the market is restricted, there's not a lot of business going on and not a lot of players available. You're not going to take a player from a team's starting eleven as nobody wants to make themselves weaker.

“Also, if you look at the amount of minutes Sasa and Fabio have played between them, we're not looking to replace lots of minutes, so there's not an immediate rush. While we do want to bring someone in, they've got to be the right person, but it's not easy when we're trying to find the best players clubs aren't using.

“There's no rush. As big clubs will spend money, other players become available. You don't want to move too early and better players become available later in the window. We need to find the right person to add to our squad moving forward.

“Our net is very small because three or four other Premier League clubs are also looking for a centre forward and you're taking them from someone's bench or from an unknown market, hoping they adapt quickly to the Premier League."
