Wolves Monitoring Exciting Welsh Forward With Five Goals This Season

Wolves are considering a move for 18-year-old Briton Ferry striker Ollie Anderson, who has been impressing in the Cymru Premier this season.

With the January transfer window more than halfway through, Wolves are yet to complete any business.

The Midlands side sit bottom of the Premier League, 14 points from safety and with just one win in 22 league games.

Wolves’s relegation already looks to be a formality, barring a record-breaking and miraculous turnaround.

Rob Edwards’ team have managed to go unbeaten in their last four, though.

But it feels like far too little too late to give them hope of survival.

An impending relegation will no doubt have put off a lot of potential signings.

However, one young star could still be heading to Molineux before the end of this month.

Wolves Keeping Tabs On Youngster Ollie Anderson

According to reports, Wolves are closely monitoring Welsh teenager Ollie Anderson.

The 18-year-old striker has made 17 appearances for Cymru Premier side Briton Ferry, scoring five goals.

Anderson has attracted attention from several Premier League clubs, but it’s Wolves who have shown the most concrete interest.

An exciting centre-forward with a clinical eye for goal, Anderson has shown immense potential.

Briton Ferry are realistic about their chances of keeping the young starlet if a top side comes in for him.

Already 6’4, Anderson’s physical attributes have been integral to his side’s success, despite his young age.

Will Ollie Anderson Sign For Wolves?

Naturally, his current club are desperate to keep him, but a Premier League move would be hard to resits.

Anderson would initially join Wolves’ academy pathway, but he has shown his ability to compete against full-grown men in the Welsh top flight.

A loan move to a Football League club would probably suit both the player and Wolves as he continues his development.

No offer has been made as of yet, but Wolves are thought to be very keen on signing Anderson for the future.

And for Briton Ferry, selling one of their brightest young stars will hurt, but could come with a massive financial windfall for a club of their size.

Wolves may not be able to stay in the Premier League this season. But they remain a big club with significant backing.

Players like Ollie Anderson fit the exact profile needed by Rob Edwards as he prepares his side to compete an rebuild in the Championship next season.

We could therefore see this highly-rated Welsh youngster moving to England before the window slams shut in a couple of weeks.
