WOLVES will put Crystal Palace youngster Jesurun Rak-Sakyi on their shortlist to replace Matheus Cunha.
Rak-Sakyi, 22, is back at Selhurst Park after spending last season on loan at Sheffield United.

The winger’s £10million price tag has put off Rangers but may be OK for the Old Gold.
Wolves have just cashed in on Cunha by selling the Brazil star to Manchester United for £62.5m.
Rak-Sakyi came through the ranks at Crystal Palace, winning the club’s Young Player of the Year award and being tipped to replace Wilfried Zaha, who enjoyed a similar trajectory.
But as is often the case in football, five years down the line, the forward is yet to make his mark at Selhurst.
Those who know him say his potential is limitless, but he just needs a manager who will trust him with consistent minutes in the Premier League.
Palace are reportedly willing to part ways with him, as the club looks to rebuild ahead of their European adventure after winning the FA Cup.
The Eagles are set to play in the UEFA Europa Conference League next season, after being booted out of the Europa League due to a complicated multi-club ownership situation involving Lyon.
Palace have stated they will fight the decision with the club’s ultra fans planning a protest and accusing UEFA of only thinking about money.
SunSport understands they will be heading to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to try to overturn UEFA’s verdict.
This means the club is now battling on two fronts, challenging their European demotion while also trying to strengthen the squad for next season.
Any potential incomings or exits will likely take longer than the club would have hoped.
But given the circumstances, this summer is shaping up to be a tough one for everyone associated with the club.
Rak-Sakyi, though, will be hoping for clarity on his future so he can focus on playing football, whether that be at Palace or Wolves.
The Eagles are also anticipating bids for both Eberechi Eze, who has suitors at Arsenal, and Marc Guehi, who has long been linked with Liverpool.
