Wolves and Stuttgart reach Kalajdzic agreement

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reached an agreement with VfB Stuttgart over the proposed transfer of Sasa Kalajdzic, according to David Ornstein of The Athletic. The Premier League outfit are set to part ways with €18m to do so before the summer window closes this week.

With Fabio Silva on loan at Anderlecht and Raul Jimenez injured ahead of the season, Wolves started the campaign without a single recognized striker in their ranks, underscoring the need to look to the market as soon as possible to resolve the issue. Even though Jimenez has since recovered, the need for a new player to score is still quite evident as Bruno Lage's side have failed to win any of the four Premier League games they have played so far.

Having joined Stuttgart from Admira Wacker in 2019, Kalajdzic has made 60 appearances for the German club, scoring 24 goals. Once the deal is complete, the Austria international will become Wolvers' fourth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of winger Goncalo Guedes, midfielder Matheus Nunes and centre-back Nathan Collins.
