Why Juan Quintero could be a star signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers

Out of all the clubs doing business this summer, Wolverhampton Wanderers seem to be pulling out all the stops to get the best. With Ruben Neves tied down to a long-term deal, Wolves have added to their list with big names such as Rui Patricio and Raul Jimenez to bolster their squad ahead of the Premier League season.

However, one name they’ve been linked with is Juan Quintero. If they manage to bring the Colombian to the Molineux, they can consider themselves ready to push for a top-10 finish in the league.

A great move for both Wolves and the player

Quintero has caught the eye recently after his fantastic performances for Colombia in the World Cup – contributing one goal and two brilliant assists for the South Americans.

He is a player with fantastic abilities on the ball and he could be a real star should he live up to his potential. Nuno Espirito Santo is a coach who loves playing exciting football and Quintero’s playmaking abilities could see them move to another level.

The Premier League would also bring out the best in Quintero, owing to his blistering pace and assisting abilities. In addition to his goalscoring skills, the player is also adept at reading the game and making incisive passes.

Further, a move for Quintero will be beneficial for his agent, Jorge Mendes. With Colombia’s departure from the World Cup, the player will have the whole summer to decide his future. A move to the Premier League could really elevate his style of play and Wolves are an exciting squad with immense Spanish-Portuguese influence.

Santo has a great track record of managing young players and helping them find their feet in English football. It goes without saying that he could do the same for Quintero.

Wolves are on the brink of having a great season and signing Quintero could truly make a difference to their squad.
