Wolves ahead of Arsenal in race for Atalanta BC's Dejan Kulusevski?

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified Atalanta BC midfielder Dejan Kulusevski as a potential January signing.

Last month, chairman Jeff Shi indicated that Wolves are prepared to spend money on new players at the midway point of the campaign, should Nuno Espirito Santo wish to strengthen his squad.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, the Premier League outfit are contemplating a bid for Kulusevski, who is currently impressing on loan at Parma.

The 19-year-old has already contributed two goals and five assists in Serie A this season, which has seemingly led to Wolves being prepared to spend €15m (£12.95m) on the Sweden international.

However, it is claimed that Atalanta will only consider a sale should they receive a bid of €25m (£21.58m), plus add-ons.

Arsenal are also reportedly monitoring the situation, although it is said that the Gunners are not preparing an immediate offer for Kulusevski.
