He was also wanted back in 2021.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly made contact over a possible move to sign an “amazing” left-footed player.
Wolves under Gary O’Neil
The Old Gold have had an eventful 2023 so far, with the club avoiding relegation from the Premier League under former manager Julen Lopetegui. However, over the summer, Lopetegui left Molineux just three days before the season began. Gary O’Neil arrived as his replacement and has made a respectable start to the campaign, although defeat to Sheffield United on Saturday was the club’s fifth from 11 top flight games.
You could argue that O’Neil is doing an adequate job so far, especially as, over the summer, resources were limited in the transfer market, although loan moves for Matheus Cunha and Boubacar Traore did become permanent.
It looks as if attention is already on the January window, though, with Wolves looking to ensure they aren’t involved in another relegation battle. Additions in attack appear to on the agenda under O’Neil, with those behind the scenes at Molineux working on one move already.

Diallo has only made nine senior appearances for the Red Devils, but he starred out on loan with Sunderland in the Championship. Last season, the 21-year-old contributed to 18 goals in all competitions as the Black Cats reached the playoff semi-finals.
He came in for praise from Tony Mowbray during the campaign, with the Sunderland boss labelling Diallo an “amazing footballer”.
“He’s an amazing footballer. He finds the game too easy sometimes. I need to poke him to make sure he’s giving everything for the team because the game’s too easy for him as an individual.”
Diallo, primarily left footed, can play as a right winger, left winger or attacking midfielder, so would provide plenty of versatility for O’Neil who has Cunha, Pedro Neto, Pablo Sarabia, Hwang Hee-chan, Fabio Silva and Sasa Kalajzdic as his current attacking options. A move for Diallo could be one to watch over the coming months, and Wolves could finally get their man years on from initially showing an interest.
