Wolves target Hugo Ekitike has earned Thierry Henry comparisons
With Ekitike available on loan, it should make things easier for the Molineux outfit if they want to bolster their ranks on a budget, depending on how much they can spare on his wages.

This would make him the highest-paid Wolves player, according to , who list Pablo Sarabia – at £110,000-a-week – as the current highest-paid footballer at Molineux.
