Report: Wolverhampton Wanderers target Anthony Knockaert

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly keen to sign Leicester City midfielder Anthony Knockaert on a loan basis.

The French midfielder was a key member of the Leicester side that gained promotion to the Premier League last term, but has not started a match in the top flight since the opening weekend of the season.

As a result, it is widely believed that the Foxes would be prepared to loan out the 23-year-old, which has alerted Wolves manager Kenny Jackett, according to the Daily Mail.

Knockaert, who joined Leicester from Guingamp in 2012, came on as a substitute during yesterday's 0-0 draw with Sunderland at the King Power Stadium.

Wolves will have to get the deal concluded by Thursday, when the loan window shuts until January 1 for clubs in the Football League.
