Wolverhampton Wanderers looking to secure deal for Lazio's Jordan Lukaku?

Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly looking to secure a deal for Lazio defender Jordan Lukaku after missing out on Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly identified Lazio defender Jordan Lukaku as a potential signing for the January transfer window.

The newly-promoted Premier League side had been hoping to bring in Manchester City's Oleksandr Zinchenko last week, but the Ukraine international opted to remain at the Etihad Stadium.

That decision has left Wolves short at wing-back, and according to Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri, the English outfit have made their intentions clear regarding Lukaku.

Tavolieri claims that the 24-year-old - who is the younger brother of Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku - has already held a meeting with Wolves owner Guo Guangchang in Brussels.

Lukaku is allegedly keen on securing a switch to England, although no move could be push through until the start of 2019 due to the closure of the Premier League transfer window.

The left-sided defender has spent the last two seasons at the Stadio Olimpico, with 18 starts and 28 substitute outings coming in Serie A.
