Torino plans to speak with free agent Che Adams and aims to beat Wolves to his signature. The Serie A side is keen to secure the Scotland forward, who is on the market after failing to sign a new deal with Southampton. Adams, 28, has been sought after by Molineux chiefs for some time, but Torino’s interest might sway the attacker.

Paolo Vanoli, former Chelsea assistant manager and now Torino’s head coach, is looking for a partner for Duvan Zapata. Adams has been without a club for two weeks, making him an attractive option. It remains unclear who Adams will choose.

The Leicester-born star has been out of contract since July 1 after five years at Southampton, scoring 41 goals in 164 league games. Wolves had an £18 million bid turned down last summer, but Adams helped Southampton achieve Premier League promotion with 16 goals last season. Adams has 25 Premier League goals in 124 appearances.

Torino faces competition from Nottingham Forest and Wolves, while Southampton boss Russell Martin is eyeing West Ham’s Flynn Downes. Southampton has already signed five new players, including Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Adam Lallana.
