Ollie Westbury sat down with Jonny Drury to discuss whether Shrewsbury Town may renew their interest in Wolves forward Nathan Fraser.
Salop were keen on the Wolves man in January - but due to an injury crisis he remained at Molineux.
Ollie and Jonny look at whether Salop will reignite interest - or if a move may be out of reach.

00:00Oli, transfer window is in full swing at the moment. Salop have already done obviously
00:13a little bit of business. One area of the pitch where they will, I'm sure, be looking
00:17to bring in players is up front. And there's a name that's sort of been banded about, talked
00:21about. It was obviously talked a lot about in January. It was Nathan Fraser at Wolves.
00:26He is now going to be departing Wolves on loan this summer, it's been said by our Wolves
00:32correspondent Liam Keane. That was reported a week or so ago. Is this one that you might
00:38expect Shrewsbury will go back in for? Obviously the interest was there prior to Paul Hurst
00:42and obviously with, I'm sure, Mickey Moore probably played a lot of a part in that as
00:45the director of football. Would it surprise you if Shrewsbury went back in for him? And
00:49do you think it might be difficult now given the fact that he did play a bit for Wolves
00:53and his stock probably did rise a little bit towards the end of the season?
00:57I certainly think there will be a player that Shrewsbury will be looking at. They will look
01:01at whether, like you say, his stock definitely rose and whether he's probably going to be
01:05looking at a club higher up in League One, perhaps even low end of the Championship given
01:10the fact that he made like seven Premier League appearances in the end. And I know Wolves
01:14towards the back end of the season did a few Wolves games and they were very short of players
01:20up front with injuries to forward players. But it's no mean feat to play in the Premier
01:24League, is it? So you've obviously got to have something. So maybe he might be looking
01:29for a little bit of a level above. If he's looking for a loan move, though, he needs
01:33to play. Wherever he goes, he's got to play. That's the whole point of him going out on
01:36loan is to get valuable minutes.
01:39Obviously Shrewsbury I think he was quite keen on. He has been to watch a game to meet
01:46Mickey Moore. Obviously we reported that, didn't we, that we saw him kind of moving
01:52around, walking around the ground, kind of having a tour so we know what it's like. It's
01:55local to him. So there's lots of things that fit, but maybe the level might not be one
02:02of those. He might probably have clubs that are higher up the pecking order that will
02:06be clamouring after his signature. The geography might be a factor. If he's living locally,
02:11Shrewsbury to Wolverhampton is not too far away, is it? He probably wouldn't have to
02:15move or you never know, maybe as a player he might want to. But yeah, I would be amazed
02:21if he's not a player that Shrewsbury desired. But whether they can get him feels like a
02:26completely different story, to be perfectly honest with you. It feels like that might
02:30be one of those that's a little bit of a long shot for sure.
