Scouting expert backs Wolves ace Chem Campbell to excel out on loan
We’re delighted to welcome Football Manager’s Wolves researcher Dave Azzopardi as our exclusive columnist. Each week the scouting expert will be giving his views on the biggest talking points on Wonderkids across the UK…
Football fans should be keeping an eye on Wolves Under-23 striker Chem Campbell this season as he’s ready for a big year, according to Dave Azzopardi.
Campbell, who scored nine goals and got nine assists in 19 appearances in the Premier League 2 during the 2021/22 season, has been picked out as the young player who is most exciting at the club and big things are being predicted for the Wales Under-17 ace.
Wolves are yet to make a first-team signing and while Campbell is coming off a great season, scouting expert Azzopardi believes he could benefit from a loan move to League One or the Championship this year before breaking into the first-team.
“Chem Campbell, he’s playing for the 23’s at the moment, he’s an attacker and he’s had a good season for the Under 23’s,” he told The Football Wonderkids.
“He’s started to add a lot more goals and assists to his game, and again another player who has been given first-team opportunities.
“He came off the bench against Newcastle a couple of months ago, had pre-season with the first-team. I think next year is going to be a big one for him.
“Wolves will try to get him into the first-team set up, or what I think he does need is a good loan whether that’s at League One level or even Championship.
“But he’s got a lot of potential. He’s a good player who’s been spoken about a few times. I know Nuno started him in a Carabao Cup game when he was 16 against Aston Villa, and he was one of those players that a lot of German clubs were looking at a few years ago.
“Very quick player, very direct, very skilful, and knows where the back of the net is. So like I said I think next year will be a big year for Chem.“
Campbell made his Premier League debut against Newcastle as a substitute back in April, featuring for 12 minutes.
He is currently training with the first-team in pre-season and scored in their first pre-season friendly win over Forest Green on Saturday July 3rd.
