Vítor Pereira is preparing for his first full campaign at Molineux and, after stepping in midway through last term, the Portuguese coach has already earned respect for his tactical clarity and calm leadership. But this summer has presented fresh challenges. Key departures — Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Aït-Nouri to Manchester City — have left gaps that need urgent attention.

00:07the Portuguese coach has already earned respect for his tactical clarity and calm leadership.
00:13But this summer has presented fresh challenges.
00:16Key departures Mateus Cunha to Manchester United and Reionate Nori to Manchester City have left gaps that need urgent attention.
00:25Both were vital to Wolves' system last season and their exits demand a smart, strategic rebuild.
00:32The focus now is on recruitment that fits Pereira's identity.
00:36With Wolves set to open their campaign against Manchester City, the current predicted XI is already taking shape.
00:43Jose Sarr remains the undisputed number one, looking far more settled than this time last year.
00:49In defence, January signing Emel Agbadoo is expected to be a permanent fixture after stabilising the back line alongside the ever-reliable Totti Gomez.
00:59Wolves are also hoping to complete a deal for Danish centre-back Thomas Christensen, a player they targeted in January and have reignited talks for this summer.
01:08At wide, Hugo Bueno looks ready to replace Saint-Nuri at left wing-back following an impressive loan spell with Feyenoord.
01:15In midfield, the Brazilian pairing of Andre and Jal Gomez remain key with both attracting interests but currently considered vital to Pereira's plans.
01:26Further forward, Fer Lopez, a standout from last season, is expected to play just behind the striker alongside new signing John Arias,
01:34a Colombian international who brings creativity and versatility in central and wide areas.
01:39Leading the line again will be Jorgen Strand-Larsen, who scored 14 times last season.
01:45Wolves are also eyeing Crystal Palace's Yusin Raksaki, another option in attack.
01:50The 22-year-old is attracting interest from Rangers and Sheffield United, but Wolves are monitoring the situation closely.
01:58If signed, he would add pace, flair and long-term potential on the wing.
02:01With the opening weekend fast approaching, Pereira has the blueprint.
02:07Now it's about finalising all the pieces together to ensure Wolves have a positive season.
