Wolves signing this 31-year-old Russian would be a wasteful move by Nuno – Here’s why they must avoid it
Why Artem Dzyuba would be a wasteful signing that Wolves should avoid
According to the Birmingham Live, Wolves have been credited with an interest in Russian international striker Artem Dzyuba, with the report suggesting that the Black Country outfit had their scouts in attendance to keep an eye on the 31-year-old during the recent international break.
Dzyuba, who helped Russia complete a 2-1 comeback victory over Scotland at Hampden Park on Friday, caught the attention of the scouts with his superb all-around performance and Wolves are weighing up the possibility of nabbing him for free next summer, with the 31-year-old’s contract at Zenit St. Petersburg set to expire at the end of the season.

The same report suggests that Dzyuba is keen to test his credentials in the Premier League, having spent his entire playing career in his native Russia.
Wolves, though, aren’t the only Premier League side who have the towering centre-forward on their radar, with the Birmingham Live claiming that Everton and Crystal Palace are also monitoring the situation.
The 31-year-old, who boasts of a remarkable scoring record of 21 goals in 38 senior international appearances for Russia, was one of the driving forces behind his nation’s surge to the quarter-finals of the 2018 FIFA World Cup on their home soil last summer, scoring thrice in the process.
A youth product of Spartak Moscow, Dzyuba scored 38 goals in 166 appearances for his boyhood club in all competitions and also enjoyed a fruitful stint at FC Rostov before switching boats to join Zenit in 2015.
As a matter of fact, 6ft. 5-inch Moscow mauler has hit some impressive numbers in the Russian top-flight since then, registering 56 goals and 41 assists in 148 appearances across all competitions, and that kind of strike rate has prompted the Premier League clubs to pursue a keen interest in the Russian international, despite his advancing years.
To put things into perspective, Wolves brought in Patrick Cutrone as an out-and-out centre-forward from AC Milan this summer to provide cover and competition for last season’s top-scorer Raul Jimenez and it is difficult to see how someone like Dzyuba would fit into Nuno Espirito Santo’s plans.
Dzyuba has carved out a massive reputation for himself as a bonafide goalscorer in Russia but it is imperative to mention here that he hasn’t played outside his homeland thus far in his career.
With that in mind, a potential switch to the intense atmosphere of the Premier League next summer might not be ideal for him at this stage of his career and we all know that goals in Russia are hardly ever exchangeable for ones in the English top-flight.
Noted for his smart hold up play, imposing physicality, aerial ability and clinical finishing inside the box, the 31-year-old lacks the pace to fit seamlessly into Nuno Santo’s philosophy and, while the Russian might offer great value on a free transfer with his experience and work-rate, Wolves would be better off shifting their focus to other areas of their squad.
Jimenez has already hit the ground running this season and the Mexican is expected to be a key part of the club’s plans moving forward in the Premier League, as well as in the Europa League, this term, while Cutrone has also shown strong signs of promise.
In Cutrone, Jimenez and Jota, Wolves have three quality strikers up top, with each boasting of a different set to attributes to add a certain dimension to the club’s attacking unit.
Hence, it is easy to see that Dzyuba, who is noted for his finishing, physicality and link-up play won’t offer anything extra in that regard and he won’t really be a massive upgrade on what they already have.
On the contrary, Nuno Santo should continue to show confidence in the likes Cutrone and Jota, both of whom are still very young and have plenty of potential to make a big name for themselves in the Premier League in the future.

All in all, the fans at Molineux should be happy to let the rumours linking Wolves to Dzyuba pass by silently without a move actually materializing.

Celtic dealt major blow in pursuit of Bologna star Aaron Hickey
According to La Nazione (h/t Daily Record), Fiorentina have intensified negotiations with fellow Serie A club Bologna for the signing of Celtic target Aaron Hickey, dealing a blow to the Hoops.
Hickey started out at the academy of Scottish club Heart of Midlothian FC and briefly spent time at Celtic as well before returning to Hearts, where he graduated to the first-team and went on to make 34 senior appearances.
The young left-back, who scored and assisted one goal apiece for his boyhood club, was snapped up by Serie A side Bologna in the summer of last year. Hickey did not feature regularly for the Serie A outfit due to injury problems. Indeed, the 19-year-old featured in just 12 games throughout the 2020/21 season.
But his stock remains high as ever, as Celtic are intent on bringing him back to Scotland this summer. The Hoops, embarking on a new journey under new manager Ange Postecoglou, are looking to bolster their defensive department.
Having decided not to sign Diego Laxalt permanently, Celtic have just Boli Bolingoli and Greg Taylor as options at left-back, with the former unsure of a future after returning from loan. So, signing someone like Hickey, who can make the spot his own for the coming years, would have been a good move.
However, Fiorentina seem to have thrown a spanner in the works for Celtic as the Serie A side have upped their efforts to land the youngster from Bologna. Indeed, it is reported that La Viola have intensified negotiations over a move, although they will have to offer at least €5m to stand a chance of signing the teenager.

Bologna are in no hurry to sell Hickey and will wait for the highest bid as they look to maximise their profits. It is now up to Celtic to step up in their pursuit of the 19-year-old or risk missing out on him.
Transfer News: Rangers star Glen Kamara wanted by Everton
According to transfer news from Eurosport (h/t Glasgow Live), Premier League club Everton have entered the race to sign Glen Kamara from Scottish champions Rangers this summer.
Kamara started out his youth football in his homeland, Finland, before switching to England in 2011 when he signed for the Southend United academy. A year later, he was snapped up by Premier League giants Arsenal, where he rose through the youth ranks but couldn’t break into the first-team.
After loan spells away at Southend United and Colchester United, Kamara left Arsenal permanently in the summer of 2017, signing for Scottish club Dundee FC. The 25-year-old Finnish midfielder rose to prominence with the club and was picked up by Steven Gerrard’s Rangers in the winter transfer window of 2019.
During his two-and-a-half-year stay at the Ibrox Stadium, Kamara has developed into one of the best midfielders on show in the Scottish Premiership. The Finland star played an integral role in the Gers’ title victory last season as he racked up over 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring and assisting a couple of goals apiece. (h/t Transfermarkt)
However, Kamara’s time at the Ibrox Stadium could be drawing towards a close, with Everton joining a number of other clubs in pursuit of the ex-Arsenal youngster. Indeed, the likes of Watford and Brentford have already shown an interest in the 25-year-old while an unnamed Russian club is also keen, with the Toffees also joining the bandwagon.

Given how important Kamara has been for Rangers in his time at the club, his potential departure would come as a blow. However, with his contract expiring in two years and with so many teams interested, this also represents the Gers best chance of making good money from his sale, which they can reinvest in the squad.
With a transfer fee of £15m being mentioned, the Light Blues could stand to make a massive profit, having signed him for a measly £50k in 2019.
