Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly prioritising signing a striker before the end of the January transfer window.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly decided to prioritise signing a new striker before the end of the January window.

The West Midlands outfit currently sit in eighth place in the Premier League table, but Nuno Espirito Santo's side have sometimes been guilty of squandering opportunities in the final third.

Second-choice frontman Leo Bonatini is also out of favour at Molineux, and according to the Express & Star, that has left Wolves eager to bring in a fresh face in attack.

Raul Jimenez has impressed since arriving on loan from Benfica, but Nuno is keen to provide competition for the Mexico international with the addition of another centre-forward.

Wolves have been linked with a move for Southampton's Charlie Austin, while bringing in another striker on a temporary basis also remains a possibility.
