Wolves striker set for loan move before transfer window closes

The Austrian has featured off the bench for Wolves in their last two games but is currently behind Jorgen Strand Larsen and Hwang Hee-chan in the pecking order.

Kalajdzic has only just returned from a serious knee injury - the third in his career and second since signing for Wolves in 2022 - and he is now expected to get a move before Monday's 7pm deadline.

Head coach Vitor Pereira also admitted Kalajdzic would struggle to play more than 20 minutes in the Premier League at the moment due to his ongoing return from injury.

With the impending signing of striker Tolu Arokodare, Wolves need to allow a senior non-homegrown player to depart to make room in their registered Premier League squad.

Kalajdzic is likely to be the one that makes way with clubs in Europe interested.

Hwang has also attracted interest from Crystal Palace and other clubs on the continent, and although he is now likely to stay, any potential departure would depend on concrete offers coming in.

And a lack of firm bids will mean Kalajdzic is more likely to be allowed a move away.

Wolves remain determined to keep Larsen amid two rejected bids and ongoing interest from Newcastle United, while they are targeting a midfielder signing before the window closes.

Josh Brownhill and Hayden Hackney are both of interest.
