Wolves agree a £15m fee for Stuttgart’s 6ft 7ins Austrian striker Sasa Kalajdzic

Wolves have agreed a £15.3million fee plus bonuses for Stuttgart striker Sasa Kalajdzic.

The West Midlands outfit have been chasing the 6ft 7ins striker over recent weeks and the 25-year-old is due to fly to England this evening ahead of completing the move.

The Austrian international was absent for Stuttgart’s training session on Saturday after he held talks with head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo while he also missed their 0-0 draw with Cologne on Sunday as negotiations continued with Wolves.

Bruno Lage has been desperate to add a forward to his squad this summer and will be delighted to sign the Austrian who has also attracted interest from Brighton, Everton and Manchester United.

The 25-year-old has won 15 caps for his country and scored 24 goals in 60 appearances for Stuttgart, while he has also added 12 assists.

The former Admira Wacker striker had continued his fine recent form into this season, having contributed three assists in three games for a club that narrowly missed out on a relegation play-off spot last season.

If the deal is completed as expected, the 200cm Kalajdzic will become the fifth-tallest outfield player in Premier League history.

The Austrian would come in behind Costel Pantilimon, Lacina Traore, Peter Crouch and Nicola Zigic in the list of the league’s tallest players.
