Ludovic Ajorque would make a fantastic addition for the Toothless Wolves
Over the past two years, Wolves have lacked teeth in the final third – and Ludovic Ajorque might just be the answer to Bruno Lage’s prayers.
After sealing seventh consecutive Premier League places after promotion, the club went on to finish 13th in 2020/21 and then 10th last season.

Wolves have scored fewer goals in the past two seasons compared to the first two.
The defense has tended to be relatively solid throughout the club’s time in the top flight, but there is now a lack of ruthlessness at the top.
Wolves therefore need to go out and sign a proven goalscorer, but Lage also wants a centre-forward capable of winning aerial duels.
Advance Ajorque, who has been linked with a move to Wanderers in recent days.
The Strasbourg striker has a host of clubs hot on his heels right now, and it’s easy to see why.
The ace has now played four seasons for the French side and has found the net with regularity.
He hit 50 in 138 games for the club. Scoring a goal every three games for a team like Strasbourg is very respectable.
And he has a creative side too, as evidenced by the 19 assists he has to start.
Get French Football News have been very impressed with him in the past.
In a report on him in January 2021, they said: “The French striker is quite simply one of the most fun players to watch across Europe. Ajorque is a pure target man, relying on good movement, positioning and deadly finishing at the inside the surface.
The publication then place it at number 30 in their list of the 100 best Ligue 1 players in January.
Ludovic Ajorque would be a fantastic signing for Wolves
We have the feeling that Ajorque would really take the Premier League.
The 6ft 6in star would probably do just fine with the physique, and he obviously has a strong goalscoring record as of late.
Wolves have lacked a peak for the past two years.
Having someone like Ajorque in the penalty area would be ideal when Rayan Ait-Nouri, Nelson Semedo, Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto are whipping balls into the box.
Jimenez’s aerial threat has unfortunately diminished following his injury. But Wolves can have that again if the club bring in Ajorque.
Strasbourg President Marc Keller said in may that the club would let him go if the right offer arrived. With no forwards available at the moment and the new season starting this weekend, Wolves must surely approach Strasbourg for Ajorque right now.
