Wolverhampton Wanderers are now eyeing a move for a Champions League club's "leading star", who has been in red-hot form recently.

Wolves keen on another new striker after Adam Armstrong

Wolves handed Arsenal a fresh blow in the Premier League title race on Wednesday night, fighting back from a two-goal deficit to draw 2-2 at Molineux, with Tom Edozie bagging a stoppage-time equaliser on his top flight debut.

Although the Old Gold are still almost certain to be relegated, it bodes well that they are showing some fight under the helm of Rob Edwards, ahead of a 2026-27 campaign in which their main aim is most likely to be achieving promotion.

With next season in mind, Edwards brought in Adam Armstrong during the January transfer window, and the 29-year-old evidently has what it takes to lead the line for a promotion-winning side, having picked up 21 goals and 13 assists for Southampton in the 2023-24 Championship campaign.

According to a report from Sports Boom, however, Wolves remain keen on bringing in another striker, and they are now eyeing a move for Bodo/Glimt star Kasper Hogh, who is valued at €15m - €18m (£13m - £16m) by the Norwegian side.

Hogh is attracting widespread interest, having caught the eye in the Champions League this season, with Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton also named as potential suitors, alongside clubs from the Bundesliga, Serie A and MLS.

With the 25-year-old target man under contract until 2029, Bodo/Glimt are in a strong negotiating position, but he could be a fantastic signing if Edwards' side are able to tempt his current employers into a sale...

"Leading star" Hogh tearing it up in Europe

Described as a "leading star" for Bodo/Glimt by former midfielder Frode Thomassen, the Dane has been tearing it up in the Champions League this season, chipping in with four goals and three assists in nine appearances.

On Wednesday night, the Eliteserien side put themselves in a strong position to reach the last 16 of Europe's elite competition, defeating giants Inter Milan 3-1 at home, and the Randers-born centre-forward scored the third goal.

The striker has also been prolific in front of goal in the Eliteserien, amassing 17 goals and six assists during the 2025 campaign, with his side falling just short in the title race, finishing one point behind winners Viking FK.

Having proven himself in the Champions League, Hogh could be more than ready to test himself in England, but a move to a Premier League club would perhaps make more sense, and Wolves would find it hard to compete for his signature with Tottenham.
