Wolves are not as desperate for new attackers – having impressively scored 31 goals in 19 Premier League games so far this term, more than Brighton, Bournemouth, Aston Villa and many other sides.

However – despite that fact – Wolves have now entered talks to sign Hakim Ziyech from Galatasaray after sensing an opportunity in the market.

Wolves in talks to sign Hakim Ziyech

A story from Sabah in Turkey now claims that Wolves have started negotiations to sign the Morocco international.

Ziyech – who Galatasaray signed in a £5.5m move from Chelsea in August 2023 – has grown frustrated in Istanbul.

The Turkish news outlet state that the 31-year-old skipped training ahead of the Super Lig clash between Galatasaray and Goztepe on Saturday, which saw Okan Buruk leave him out of the squad entirely.

Sabah now report that Ziyech’s agent has entered talks with Wolves as he aims to find his client a new club – after bridges between the Moroccan and Galatasaray start to burn away.

What Matt Doherty has previously said about Hakim Ziyech

Ziyech was once amongst the hottest properties in Europe during his time with Ajax, hence why Chelsea spent £33.3m to sign him back in February 2020.

Unfortunately, the man born in Dronten became a victim of Chelsea’s fire sales under Todd Boehly, with 24 players either sold or loaned out last summer, and 28 the year before.

Nevertheless, Ziyech still impressed during his time in the Premier League, and Matt Doherty – who could soon become his teammate at Molineux – even praised him for netting a wonder goal against his Tottenham side back in January 2022.

The Irishman said: “They managed to stick one in the top corner, which is fair enough. I guess when somebody does that, you’ve got to clap your hands to it.”
