It's technically correct, but it sounds weird and non-native to me. It requires me to jump through mental hoops to explain how it makes sense. For easy communication, I'd recommend sticking with "wanting" in this situation. (though I'm not averse to using awkward phrasings or the like in casual situations where clear communication isn't the number one priority. At the moment I'm on a crusade to bring back "thrice" and {h,th,wh}{ence,ither}. )
