Jean-Ricner Bellegarde transfer update for the Wolves
Gary O’Neil could receive a late addition to his team after a rocky start to the new season.
In the waning hours of this summer’s transfer window, Wolverhampton Wanderers may be ready to give Gary O’Neil a new midfield weapon in the form of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde is being signed by Wolves.
With the departure of their now-former manager Julian Lopetegui, Wolves’ new season has been a rocky one.
After their second game of the season, Wolves found themselves without a point despite a strong showing in their season opener at Old Trafford. After their victory over fellow struggling team Everton over the weekend, there were some reasons for hope.
And with the summer transfer window closing tonight, it appears as though the Wolves supporters could be given another cause to celebrate before the weekend with a new midfielder perhaps entering the building in these last hours.
In fact, it’s been said that the Old Gold and Strasbourg have come to a deal for the Old Gold to purchase the Frenchman for about £12.8 million. Additionally, it’s rumored that the club has already dispatched representatives to France to seal the transaction before the deadline of 11 p.m. (BST).
Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, who is he?
Bellegarde is a French midfielder who stands 5 7 inches tall and is only 25 years old. The striker, who joins Strasbourg in 2019 from Ligue 1 club Lens, has spent his whole career playing in his own country.
In trying to score goals in Ligue 1, the midfielder has run against several obstacles. Bellegarde has only produced five goals in his 128 league games over his previous four complete seasons in the French top division.
However, he has made an extremely bright start to the new campaign have netted twice and provided two assists in his opening three Ligue 1 games. And he has shown some impressive signs of becoming a creative force from the midfield after providing his side with nine assists in the league alone last season.
But this is a player who will be brought to Molineux to provide O’Neil with some stability from the middle of the park as he ranks inside the top percentiles for progressive carries with an impressive 4.05 per 90 minutes, as per FBref, showing a fantastic ability to not only win the ball but to drive it forwards

Bellegarde could not be able to play in Sunday’s match, which is ironically at rival bidders Crystal Palace, if a deal is to be finalized in the final minutes of today’s deadline.
