Troy Deeney has told Cristiano Ronaldo to join the Portuguese contingent at Wolves.
The 35-year-old is being linked with an exit from Juventus this summer.
And Watford striker Deeney thinks he could help Wolves, who share connections with Ronaldo in the form of super agent Jorge Mendes.
“I think I was more looking at a club like Wolves with the Portugal connection,” Deeney said on TalkSport. “That would probably work.
“Whoever is getting him is getting an unbelievable talent. This season I think six in four he has already got in Serie A. You are not going to get the same Ronaldo you had at Manchester United. I think that’s always going to be the comparison.
“You look at Gareth Bale, for example, he has gone back to Tottenham. You are comparing him already to the one that left to go to Madrid.
“You are still going to get goals from Ronaldo and you are still going to get goals from Bale – that’s going to be the forefront of everyone’s mind is he to that level?
“If he is available, I would be very surprised if there wasn’t a top ten club trying to sign him in the Premier League.
“I like Wolves. It is the odd one out [compared to the clubs Ronaldo has played at]. If he went to America and went to LA Galaxy. We would go ‘oh, that’s a bit strange’.
“I think Wolves are creating something there with the players that they have where they will push for the top six in the next few years.
“Then, of course, as I said the Portugal connection and there are so many positives. If you want to go to the next level then that’s the player you need to go for.”
