00:00Well, hello, I'm Nathan Judah. I'm delighted to be joined by Wolves reporter, Mr. Liam Keene.
00:13Liam, it's Sunday night, but there's no rest for the wicked because transfer deadline day
00:17is a week on Monday, and you know it's going to be a crazy week, especially in the world
00:21of Wolverhampton Wanderers. And I thought Sunday night, everyone's hanging out, maybe going to
00:27burn, maybe scrolling through the phones. Let's have a bit of an exclusive. And Wolves could
00:32be closing in on an attacking midfielder slash forward, Liam Keene. Please give us more.
00:37Yes, absolutely. As it is with transfer windows, we expect to have maybe a quiet Sunday. Didn't
00:43happen this time, but we've got to be ready to go. And we are ready on this one. Christantos
00:49Uche, a 22-year-old Nigerian international, plays for Catafé in the Spanish top flight.
00:55Wolves are closing in on achieving his signature. Now, they've got a bit of competition. I know
01:01that Leeds have been linked with him. A couple of other clubs have been linked with him. But
01:04the club is working on a deal in the region of £17 million. Personal terms have still
01:09got a little bit of work to do. Not quite there yet, but the club are hopeful of getting this
01:14one done. They're closing in on him. The negotiations are continuing around that fee and around that
01:19price and with the player as well. But they hope that he will be a player that comes in
01:24as a player that can play in midfield, also played further forward and has played further
01:29forward quite a bit, actually, for Catafé over in Spain.
01:33Yeah, look, Vitor Boros said that he needs two or three players in. There might be more
01:37that come in this week. You don't know, because obviously there's certain outgoings to go.
01:41Fabio Silva, Hwangi Chan, Sasha Kolajic from those front three are all linked with moves away.
01:46Whether one, two or all three go remains to be seen. But in terms of Uche, Nigerian international,
01:51someone who's young, who kind of fits that mould as well at 22 years old, someone who will perform,
01:55will do very well and will have a sell on clause as well, hopefully, if he does exceed and score
01:59a lot of goals for Wolves. This is the type of player that they do sign and someone who's exciting.
02:04No Premier League experience though, of course, Liam.
02:06No, which is a really important point to make. We both agree that Wolves do need some Premier League
02:10experience, need some players that are Premier League ready. There's no suggestion that he won't be
02:15Premier League ready when he does arrive in terms of quality, but certainly in terms of experience,
02:18he isn't that. But what he is is a player that fits the mould for what Wolves tend to buy in terms of
02:24his age, potential to improve and increase his value as well. And he's a player that, you know,
02:30has played, as I mentioned before, played in the forward areas quite a bit more recently as well.
02:35He started as part of a front two, I believe it was, for Catafé against Santa Vigo last weekend,
02:42scored and assisted in a 2-0 win over Santa Vigo. They're playing again tomorrow night as well, Catafé,
02:48which is Monday night for people watching or listening to this. And obviously, it remains
02:53to be seen exactly whether he's in the squad for that game. And also, it remains to be seen
02:57exactly how he fits into Wolves' plans and system, whether this will be their forward signing and
03:02forward option, or whether they will look to bring in further forward players, which we know they're
03:06really keen on doing. So yeah, lots of negotiations ongoing, including also for Jorana Defender,
03:13Kreutcher, which is still ongoing as well. So yeah, it's going to be a busy week for Wolves,
03:17probably ins and outs before September 1st.
03:20There you go, some exclusive news Sunday night. Christantos Uche hopefully could be
03:23a Wolves player sooner rather than later. Watch this space because it's going to be a very
03:26interesting week. Liam Keen, thank you very much.
03:28Thank you very much.
03:29Thank you very much.
