Wolves have discussed the conditions required to sign FC Basel winger Philip Otele in January. The 26-year-old is keen on a move to the Premier League, and personal terms are not expected to be an issue despite reported interest from both Celtic and Lazio. Basel are asking for around £7m but Wolves have explored a loan‑with‑option structure that would include a loan fee. For Wolves, any move could depend on player sales in a highly uncertain transfer window, with relegation to the Championship looking almost certain despite a recent uptick in form. Otele has scored 17 goals and registered seven assists in 51 appearances since joining the reigning Swiss Super League champions last season.
