Wolverhampton Wanderers considering offer for Inter Milan loanee Keita Balde?

Monaco forward Keita Balde has reportedly emerged as a potential transfer target for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Balde is currently spending a season on loan at Inter Milan with a view to a future permanent transfer, but the Senegal international has only made three starts and seven substitute outings in Serie A since the beginning of the current campaign.

According to Tuttomercatoweb, that has resulted in Inter being prepared to allowed the 23-year-old to return to his parent club in January in order for Monaco to find the attacker another team.

That could allow Wolves to step in for Balde, with the Premier League outfit keen to strengthen in the final third having found goals difficult to come by since their return to the top flight.

Balde has struggled at San Siro, but scored eight goals in Ligue 1 last season after 26 strikes from 110 league outings for Lazio.

The report suggests that any loan switch could cost Wolves in the region of £5m.
