Wolverhampton Wanderers are progressing with a move to sign Rennes centre‑back Christopher Wooh, boosting their summer rebuild under Vítor Pereira.
After rescuing the club from relegation last season, Pereira's side have already signed Fer López and made Jørgen Strand Larsen’s move permanent. Now, attention has shifted to defensive reinforcements, with Wooh top of the wishlist.
Competition for Signature
According to Africa Foot, Wolves are leading the chase, though Stuttgart and Trabzonspor have also shown interest. Wooh reportedly prefers a Premier League move over Turkey, strengthening Wolves’ position in talks.
Wooh Fits Pereira’s System
At 23, Wooh has impressed in Ligue 1. His aerial dominance, positioning, and adaptability make him a strong fit for Pereira’s three‑man defence at Molineux.

Our Analyse
Wooh offers a rare blend of athleticism, tactical intelligence, and positional discipline at a young age. Wolves need to stabilise their defence, and he could bring immediate solidity and long-term value. A £15–20m deal now could prove a steal in a few years’ time.
What’s Next?
Wolves and Rennes will finalise fee details in the coming days. Contract talks and medical checks should follow swiftly — and a £15m move looks well on track ahead of pre-season.
Do Wolves need Wooh to secure top-half aspirations — or should they look elsewhere?
