Reports from France have credited Manchester United and Wolves with an interest in Wissam Ben Yedder.
Manchester United and Wolves are both keen on Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder, according to Media Foot, with bids for the experienced frontman being mulled over.
Ben Yedder is currently under contract with Monaco until 2024. It is not known if the Ligue 1 outfit would be willing to sell another of their star players this summer after Aurelien Tchouameni made the switch to Real Madrid earlier in the summer transfer window.
No potential fee is mentioned in the report either.

Ben Yedder to the Premier League?
Signing a striker who is 31 years of age is something not many top clubs wanted to do 5-10 years ago.
However, it is becoming more and more common for players, especially strikers, to stay at the top of the game into their mid and even late 30s.
So, whilst Ben Yedder is somewhat old, he could still probably do a job in the Premier League for the next 3-4 years if he looks after himself.
The striker has been on Monaco’s books since a move from Spanish outfit Sevilla in 2019.
During his time with Monaco, he has scored 73 and assisted 25 in 124 outings across all competitions.
And in Ligue 1 last year, the 19-time capped international scored 25, with golden boy Kylian Mbappe (28), the only player to net more in the French top-flight, suggesting that, like a lot of strikers recently, Ben Yedder is simply improving with age.
