Wolves Join Race for Talented EFL Championship Star

Bristol City Star Tipped for Premier League Switch

Bristol City star Anis Mehmeti has been tipped for a switch to bottom-Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers in the late stages of the transfer window.

Rob Edwards and his side currently occupy the very bottom spot of the English top flight, having accumulated just eight points from 22 games this season, sitting 14 points away from Nottingham Forest in a safe 17th.

As such, the club have looked into new targets to bolster their steadily-improving form ahead of an escape attempt, and are set to rival Ipswich Town for the services of the Robin's Albanian star.

Imagine wanting to sell Anis Mehmeti for a million...

Hear me when I say this. He is the best player in the league.

Excellent technique, elite pressing and workrate, a G&A monster and a "goldfish" mentality with errors.

"Not Prem quality"

Fuck off.
