Wolves have tonight confirmed they are in talks with Aston Villa striker Marlon Harewood.
Any deal is unlikely to be completed before Wolves head to Harewood's former club Nottingham Forest on Saturday.
Harewood has obviously been a peripheral figure at Villa Park since his £4m move from West Ham.
The loan signing would make perfect sense to me.
Despite Super Mick's pre-season declaration that Wolves have four strikers ready for first team action, the reality has been that the goals are only really likely from Sylvan and Big Chris.
I'm still a fan of Andy Keogh, and Sam Vokes has great potential, but Keogh doesn't score enough, and Vokes has struggled to make a contribution unless it's from the bench.
Harewood has incredibly only started one Premier League game for Villa in two seasons, making 28 substitute appearances.
I guess there are two sticking points to the Harewood deal going through.
Will he accept a cut in wages? And will he be prepared to swap a Premier League bench for a Championship bench?
As that's clearly where he would start at Molineux behind Sylvan and Big Chris.
