Nouha Dicko has not scored a league goal since May 2015

Striker Nouha Dicko has signed a new deal which will keep him at Championship club Wolves until 2020.

The 24-year-old Mali international missed most of last season with a cruciate ligament injury, but has played 19 matches this term.

Head coach Paul Lambert told the club website: "He has been great since I have been here having come back from a long-term injury.

"And he is still only a young guy. He has his whole career in front of him."

Dicko scored 15 goals in 40 appearances for Wolves in the 2014-15 season, but his injury lay-off meant he played just six matches last season.

His only two goals so far this term came in the EFL Trophy victory over Crewe in October.

Lambert added: "Players like Nouha are really difficult to find, with such genuine speed.

"He is a major threat to opposition defenders with his pace and now I think he just needs to get a goal under his belt."
