He was released by West Brom this summer, after only six months with the club, where he scored three goals in 15 Championship outings. Carroll is just one of the many names on a long emergency shortlist that is limited to free agents, considering that the current window has closed. Ze Luis, who was formerly on the Spartak Moscow team is another on the Wolves' radar while ex-Burnley man Matej Vydra, along with Norway international Fredrik Gulbrandsen were also been offered to Bruno Lage's side. 

A number of free agent strikers are still available to sign and many of them are coming with Premier League experience that including the likes of Dieumerci Mbokani, Oumar Niasse, Simone Zaza, Daniel Sturridge and Yaya Sanogo. Wolves managed to get just three goals across their six Premier League games so far, which was the lowest return in the division.
