Wolves intensify pursuit of Daniel Opare as replacement for Phil Ofosu-Ayeh

Wolverhampton Wanderers are still keen on signing Daniel Opare amid the uncertainty regarding the return of long-term injury victim Phil Ofosu-Ayeh, GHANAsoccernet.com understands.

Ayeh, 26, is still waiting for his first appearance for the club since joining from German outfit Eintracht Braunschweig last summer.

There were hopes he could feature early this year but that appears to be off the window with his injury return still unclear.

Sources say manager Nuno Espirito Santo is considering swooping for the sacked Augsburg defender as a replacement for the injured compatriot.

Opare was shown the exit after he was photographed having a meeting with Schalke officials over suspicion of trying to sort out his next destination and leave on a free transfer.

With the Ghanaian now available on a free transfer, a move to the English Championship side would be made easier considering the no-bottlenecks.
