Wolves: O’Neil now “waiting to see” if he can sign exciting player
The wait continues for Wolves fans.
Dean Jones has given an update on Wolverhampton Wanderers midfield pursuit.
The club are looking to strengthen in the middle of the park this summer after losing key players this window.
What is the latest Wolves transfer news?
The side are in chaos before the start of the season.
The club have recently had to make a managerial change, with former coach Julen Lopetegui leaving his post by mutual consent after just nine months at the club. A key factor behind the Spaniard’s decision to depart was the clubs failure to secure him the transfer targets that he wanted due to the clubs financial position.
Wolves have moved to replace him with former Bournemouth head coach Gary O’Neil, who has identified Coventry midfielder Gustavo Hamer as a target as he looks to bolster his squad for the upcoming season, but that plan has already been foiled as he’s joined Sheffield United.
Wolves haven’t had much luck when it’s come to transfers this summer, with the club missing out on top target Alex Scott. The midlands side saw two offers rejected for the young Englishman, with the second rebuffed offer being worth £20m. Bournemouth then stepped in and paid the Bristol City asking price of £25m and completed the deal.
The club lost Ruben Neves earlier this window as he made the switch to the Saudi Pro League in a £47m move to Al Hilal, whilst experienced veteran Joao Moutinho departed this summer following the expiry of his contract at Molineux.
Wolves pursuit of Hamer may be short-lived however, with The Telegraph reporting that newly promoted Sheffield United have agreed a deal for the player for £15m. The Dutch midfielder is set to undergo a medical with the Blades soon, so if Wolves want the player they will have to act quickly.
