Ait-Nouri impressing with Wolves

Ait-Nouri would first join Wolves in October of 2020 from French side SCO Angers.

The young defender was signed on a seaosn-long loan from Angers, but he has since made his move a permanent one.

Wolves are believed to have paid €11m to the French outfit for Nouri in July of this year.

During his first season at the club, Nouri, and Wolves as a squad, did not play their best football.

However, since Bruno Lage arrived this past summer, Nouri has improved a great deal.

The young Frenchman has, up until a recent groin injury, cemented himself as Wolves’ main left-wing-back in a back-five.

During his stint in the first-team, Nouri helped Wolves earn one of the best defensive records in the English top-flight this term. And, even against Liverpool and Manchester City who score goals for fun, Wolves only lost to a late Divock Origi strike and a questionable penalty.

Top sides including Liverpool and Manchester City eye Nouri

Now, it appears that both of the aforementioned sides liked what they saw from Nouri during those games as they have been linked with a move for the 20-year-old.

A recent report from Spanish outlet El Nacional named all of Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona as interested parties.

However, it is believed that Liverpool are now the new favourites for Nouri:

The latest information indicates that the new favorite in the race for the French under-21 international is Liverpool, who has appeared very strongly

In terms of a potential fee, it is believed Wolves want ‘nearly €25m’.
