da betobet: According to The Sun, Wolves are chasing Benfica right-back Andre Almeida, a player who would significantly bolster the club’s quality in defensive and attacking phases of play.
What’s the word?
Almeida has had a stellar season with Benfica in Portugal, helping his side to the Primeira Liga title, missing just one game.
The attacking full-back has shown impressive strides and he could now be on the verge of moving to the Premier League, per a report in The Sun.
Almeida could be available for as little as £10m which would represent phenomenal business in the current transfer market.
However, it may not be as straightforward as simply placing a bid of that fee as a number of clubs other than Wolves are chasing his signature, according to the same report.
Also in the running for the 28-year-old are their mid-table rivals Everton and Leicester. Southampton and Brighton are two other Premier League clubs monitoring the player.
Doherty out?
Signing a full-back with the quality Almeida possesses would surely mean that Matt Doherty suffers. He’s been nothing short of fantastic in Wolves’ first season back in the top-flight but it looks like they could be taking a ruthless approach in their bid to become even better.
Playing as a regular right-back, Almeida claimed 11 assists in the league this season, a considerable tally when you take into account Liverpool’s Andy Robertson boasted the same number.
As a result, Wolves could strike gold by bringing the 6 ft 1 man to Molineux.
Doherty’s place would be under real threat but it would be well worth the sacrifice. Almeida has played in a traditional full-back role this term but could be given a new lease of life if he arrived and played at right-wing back.

His creativity would be game-changing for Nuno Santo and with Jonny on the opposite flank, Wolves would become even more dynamic from wide areas.
Doherty was impressive in 2018/19, claiming five assists in the Premier League. However, that may not be enough to keep his place.
