Wolves have identified El Bilal Toure as a priority striker target as Vitor Pereira looks to reshape his squad after key exits – and they’ll need to move fast, with West Ham and clubs across Europe circling.

The El Bilal Toure Wolves transfer 2025 story comes via Africa Foot, who report that the Midlands club are keen on signing the 23-year-old Atalanta forward in a deal worth around £25 million.

Toure, a full Mali international, spent last season on loan at Stuttgart and now appears open to a fresh challenge. With Matheus Cunha’s departure, Wolves are hunting a powerful No.9 – and Toure could fit the mould perfectly.

Why Wolves Want Toure

The former Stade de Reims and Almeria striker brings physicality, pace, and goal threat. He only managed three goals in 17 games at Stuttgart but impressed with his movement and link-up play.

At just 23, Toure offers development potential and tactical flexibility. Wolves see him as an ideal fit to compete with – or replace – the departed Cunha, and offer a different style up top.

“We need players with hunger to play here – and achieve something special,” said Pereira in May. — Vitor Pereira

Who Else Is In the Race?

Wolves aren’t alone in chasing Toure. West HamMarseilleVillarrealGalatasaray, and even Serie A newcomers Como are monitoring his availability.

Toure became Atalanta’s record signing in 2023, but his future now looks uncertain. The Italian side are believed to be open to a sale at the right price.

Analyst Verdict

Despite limited minutes in Germany, Toure remains a high-upside forward who could thrive in the Premier League under the right manager. Pereira’s insistence on “hungry players” matches Toure’s profile.

What’s Next?

Wolves are expected to hold further talks in the coming days, but must be wary of late moves from West Ham or overseas rivals. At £25m, Toure won’t be short of options.
