After turning to Vítor Pereira mid-season to replace Gary O’Neil and secure Premier League safety, Wolves are now shaping up for a busy summer. Pereira heads into his first full campaign with an eye on strengthening key areas.
00:00After turning to Vitor Pereira mid-season to replace Gary O'Neill and secure Premier League safety, Wolves are now shaping up for a busy summer.
00:11Pereira heads into his first full campaign with an eye on strengthening key areas.
00:15So far Wolves haven't made any signings, but offloads have been dramatic.
00:21Top scorer Matthias Cunha left for Manchester United for £62.5m and star full-back Ryan Ait Norrie joined Manchester City for around £30m.
00:33Wolves fans will be hoping that £93m incoming creates clear reinvestment.
00:38Wolves are now closely tracking Brentford midfielder Yehoi Yamrouluk, valued around £25m.
00:44Though Brentford's long-term deal suggests a tough negotiation lies ahead.
00:48A 21-year-old Ukrainian has impressed with his 88 passing accuracy and defensive capacity, making him a smart midfield prospect.
00:58Multiple Premier League clubs, Tottenham, Leeds, Everton alongside Dortmund and Napoli, are also interested in Yarmulunku, making a bidding war likely.
01:08Pereira is expected to target at least one centre-back, central midfielder, winger, attacking midfielder and striker ahead of the next Premier League campaign.
01:18There's also late interest in Viktor Lindelof as a free agent from United, which could bring experience into central defence.
01:26The connection, the points before the points, the whole thing, I'm going to go to the pub and meet the fans of Wolverhampton, I think it's become a little bit, gone out of proportion a little bit now, maybe spoken about too much.
01:37I'm now mentioning it again myself, but it does show, doesn't it, the connection with the fans and how important it is.
01:42And we've seen that with the results on the pitch, ending up so far away from the relegation zone, finishing above Tottenham Hotspur, who come on to win the Europa League.
01:51I think that's a pretty amazing achievement from Wolves and hopefully they can go and kick on next year.
01:55In summary, Wolves have funded significant talent turnover through big sales and now face a critical summer.
02:04Will they be active in the market to claim targets ahead of their Premier League rivals and ultimately equip Pereira's side for higher ambitions in the season to come?
