Opinion: Midfielder has uncertain future at Wolves, should be sold in January

|

Sylvain Deslandes has an uncertain future at Wolverhampton Wanderers after struggling for playing time since his move from SM Caen. The 22-year-old has made only eight appearances in four years at Molineux and should be sold in January as a result.

Should Wolverhampton Wanderers sell Sylvain Deslandes in January?

Yes

No

Deslandes has embarked upon a number of loan moves in pursuit of first-team football – Bury (January 31, 2017 – May 31, 2017), Portsmouth (January 3, 2018 – May 31, 2018), FC Jumila (August 22, 2018 – June 30, 2019), Lokomotiv Plovdiv (September 4, 2019 – November 2019) – but he’s hardly set the place alight.

The midfielder failed to make an appearance at Bury, featured only twice at Portsmouth, played in 12 league games at Jumila from a possible 38 and saw his loan move to Lokomotiv Plovdiv cancelled, forcing him to return to the u23s last month.

With Deslandes’ last appearance for Wolves coming all the way back in September 2017, it’s clear he’s unwanted. The Midlands outfit agreed a loan-to-buy deal with Plovdiv before the move fell apart and have only been extending his contract to retain resale value.

Wolves should look to cash in on the 22-year-old in January.
