Edwards urges Wolves to sign another striker
Rob Edwards However, he may not be done with the current and former Southampton striker just yet, as he hopes the club will reinvest the proceeds from the sale of Strand Larsen.
Despite the club sitting eight points in the Premier League table and facing relegation to the Championship, the manager is still looking to get more business done.
According to SportsBoomEdwards has pleaded with the club’s board to spend the majority of the cash Palace paid for Strand Larsson to bolster his squad for the second half of the season.
Reports claim that Girona center Vladislav Vannat is being considered as an option to achieve this goal and the manager may get his wish if the club decide to splash out money on the Ukraine international.
However, the outlet did not reveal the Spanish side’s offer for the 24-year-old striker, nor whether Wolves will make an offer in the coming hours.
Why Wolves should bid for Vannath
The Premier League strugglers should make an offer for the Girona centre-forward as he would be a better option than Armstrong and Adams if they can finally seal a deal.
As mentioned earlier, Armstrong only scored two goals for Southampton in the Premier League last season, which does not suggest that he will make much of an impact in the top flight.
At the same time, Adams only scored 5 goals in 28 Premier League games with the Saints in the 2022/23 season, and currently scored 4 goals in Serie A with Torino.
However, Vanate has scored seven goals in 19 appearances in Girona’s La Liga so far this season and was recently described as unstoppable by the league’s official X account.
He would be a clear upgrade from Armstrong given his past struggles in the top flight, but he would also be better than Adams, who is currently playing in Italy’s top flight.

As you can see in the chart above, Vannatter provides his team with a greater threat in front of goal and is more effective when given chances in the box.
The Girona striker has been described as “Clinical” players Rated by U23 scout Antonio Mango, his performances at Dynamo Kyiv last season further confirmed this. He scored 17 goals in 28 league appearances for the club, with a goal conversion rate of 35%, and moved to Girona last summer.
Varnat was clinical in Ukraine and has also been clinical in La Liga since moving to one of Europe’s top five leagues, suggesting he will be a clinical striker if Wolves can get the deal done.
His record in recent seasons suggests he would be a better option than Armstrong and Adams given their respective struggles in the Premier League and Italy, which is why Edwards is right to plead with the board to put in the cash to get the deal done.
