Wolverhampton Wanderers need a new centre-back after Max Kilman’s departure to West Ham.
Wolves continue to show interest in Nico Elvedi for the position, in spite of previous interest.
Elvedi is open to a Premier League move, hinting at the possibility of leaving Borussia Monchengladbach.
Wolverhampton Wanderers are in need of a centre-back after seeing club captain Max Kilman leave for West Ham United earlier in the summer – and a report from Germany has seen former target Nico Elvedi linked with the club, with the Borussia Monchengladbach defender opening the door to a Premier League move ahead of the summer.

The report from Wetterauer Zeitung suggests that Wolves were a ‘potential buyer’ for Elvedi last year – and that interest has not waned, with a potential move still being in the offing for his services after Kilman’s departure to West Ham for a fee of £40million.

Wolves had showed interest in Elvedi last summer, and though a deal didn’t materialise, links formed once again earlier in the current transfer window with Kilman being courted by West Ham, Newcastle United and Manchester United.

Eventually, the defender completed his move to the east London outfit in July, and that has left the Molineux side needing a replacement. Elvedi’s potential switch has been touted as a result – and two days after Kilman’s departure, German publication BILD (via Sport Witness) suggested that Wolves had made a second attempt to sign him, having already negotiated personal terms last summer. As a result, Wetterauer Zeitung states that a move could be on the cards with a higher wage on offer, with finances not thought to be a key factor in his decision to move.

And Elvedi’s words on Sunday in an open training session with Monchengladbach have suggested that he would move on if an offer came in – with the Swiss star potentially looking for a new challenge if the right proposition became a reality. He said:
