According to Football Insider, Wolves have continued to keep tabs on the former Karvina striker and are ready to rekindle their pursuit of the 6ft4in forward again this summer as they look to bolster their attacking options.

After suffering a knee injury that kept him out of action for 437 days in 2023 (he missed 66 club games in that time), Durosinmi is now back to full fitness after making his return to club football in February.

Durosinmi’s contract with Viktoria Plzen runs until June 2026, and he’s scored 22 goals and provided 10 assists in 56 appearances for the club across all competitions.

Wolves are in need of attacking reinforcements after Matheus Cunha completed a move to Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United a few weeks ago.

They currently have Jorgen Strand Larsen as their first-choice striker having triggered the conditions for his permanent move from Celta Vigo after he spent last season on loan from the Spanish club.

Wolves now want Durosinmi to provide squad depth, but it is unknown if the forward is keen on a move to the English Premier League.
