Wolves had a strong interest in Yllan Okou of RAAL La Louviere. According to Sky Sports in Europe, Wolves’ pursuit was the most advanced, with discussions reaching an advanced stage. A move did not happen because a failure to sanction another defensive departure at Molineux meant a gap in the squad did not open up for the player. Yllan Okou decided to stay with La Louviere despite interest from elsewhere. Wolves continue to track Okou’s situation and had scouted him against Standard Liege in mid-August. If Okou continues on his current trajectory, a transfer could occur in the winter, and Wolves’ interest may be revisited in the January transfer window.

Wolverhampton sent representatives to observe 23-year-old French and Ivorian defender Yllan Okou in mid-August. Okou rejected a transfer during the summer, despite interest from several European clubs, and remained with RAAL La Louvière. It is suggested that foreign teams could make another attempt to sign him in January. He joined his current club in August 2025 and his contract runs until June 2028. According to Transfermarkt, his current market value is €2.00m.
