Well-placed sources have told Football Insider that there has been “a lot of talk” that Lemina could switch the Midlands for Saudi Arabia during the January transfer window.
Wolves are also at risk of losing talisman Matheus Cunha in the coming weeks as Arsenal and Nottingham Forest are monitoring his situation.
Cunha has been a crucial part of the squad this season, scoring 10 goals and providing four assists.
