Wolves register an interest in £17.5m Argentine playmaker Enzo Fernandez... but face stiff competition from Benfica and several Premier League clubs this summer

Wolves are showing strong interest in Argentine playmaker Enzo Fernandez but are likely to face competition for his signature.

The 21-year-old, who is considered one of the best prospects in South America, is available for about £17.5million from Buenos Aires giants River Plate.

Wolves officials have been in Argentina this week in an attempt to close the deal but Benfica are also thought to be interested, while the relatively low fee may attract other Premier League clubs.

Fernandez’s former team-mate Julian Alvarez was sold to Manchester City for about £21milllion earlier this year, while Aston Villa were also interested in Alvarez.
