Club officials want to spend a combined to £20m on the two stars as the club looks to build a squad ready for the top flight according to the Telegraph.

Afobe has scored five goals in 14 games since his return to the club but for me doesn’t possess the quality we need in the top division.

At times his touch has been too heavy and despite his five goals he doesn’t suit the system we want to play.

Although if the rumours of Jack Wilshere are true then it may not be a bad move for the 24 year old.

Boly on the other hand will be a fantastic signing and hearing he’s bought a right handed Rolls Royce (you can’t read too much into it) shows the potential the club has.

The on loan Porto defender has been a brick wall at the centre of defense alongside Conor Coady and unsung hero Ryan Bennett, with his power, with many strikers feeling a little worse for wear after coming up against the Frenchman.

His confidence and ability to bring out from the back has been an asset for the team and his distribution is right up there with a lot of the team – remember his ball for Jota at home against Derby.

And while I’m not a fan of ball playing centre halves Boly has been a dominant force in the Championship and I’m excited to see how he will cope in the Premier League

The website claims that Wolves have been in touch with his manager Carlos Leite, only to be reminded that his future is in the hands of Besiktas

But the club  also face competition from Man United and Liverpool, the former Wolves supposedly beat in the race to sign him in 2016 before his loan move.

Talisca has been in fine form in Turkey scoring 18 goals in 40 appearances this season.

In two years, the Benfica loanee has won the Super Lig title and helped the Istanbul giants to the knock-out stages of the Champions League, scoring 35 goals in all competitions along the way.
