Wolves have reportedly entered the race to sign Viktoria Plzen striker Rafiu Durosinmi after identifying the youngster as a top target in the January transfer window.

The 6ft 4ins striker has scored nine goals for Plzen this season, including six in nine league games. 

Technically adept, the Nigerian has been impressing with his performances, showcasing his skill, athleticism, and a variety of finishes.

Wolves are among those to have scouted the 20-year-old striker, with the Telegraph reporting that the club have held talks with Plzen this week over a possible deal.

The Czech side are reportedly demanding £10million for the forward, while personal terms are thought to be an issue at this stage.

Durosinmi is currently recovering from knee ligament surgery, after sustaining the injury during a match against Slovan Liberec on October 21.

The injury has forced him to miss Plzen’s last six matches and could keep him out for another month.

Mail Sport reported earlier this month that Brighton were among the teams to be tracking Durosinmi.

The Seagulls have had an eye on forward planning and are mindful of clubs continuing to circle around Evan Ferguson despite his new contract.

Durosinmi has also attracted attention from clubs in the Bundesliga, with Eintracht Frankfurt and Stuttgart monitoring developments.

Mail Sport understands that Durosinmi has set his mind on a move to Eintracht Frankfurt believing that, as with France star Kolo Muani, they could give him the platform for the next step up in his career.

Durosinmi, who has drawn comparisons to former Arsenal strikers Kanu and Emmanuel Adebayor with his physique and style, only joined Plzen last January from second tier Czech side Karvina. 

He had previously played for the Box2box academy in Nigeria and has yet to be capped by his country.

‘He’s been incredible for me since I arrived, bought into everything that I’ve asked and his goals have obviously been good, but just the way he is around the place, his work ethic, the way he does what you ask him to do always with a smile on his face, with grit and determination, so yeah an important player for the team and the club.

‘Hopefully we can secure his services for a bit longer than his current deal.
