Wolves need to bring some more quality into their squad in the upcoming January transfer window
Wolves face a serious battle for survival in the Premier League after their poor start to the season. They are rock bottom of the table and have only two points on the board. The Midlands outfit are in the drop zone along with West Ham and Nottingham Forest.
Key players like Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri left over the summer for Manchester United and Manchester City. Despite being able to keep hold of Jorgen Strand Larsen, they have seriously struggled for form in this campaign. We have asked AI (Grok) to predict their business ahead of January....
Wolves predicted to be busy in January
Wolves have been predicted to sign Flamengo winger Wallace Yan by AI this winter. The 20-year-old, who is being tipped for a bright future in the game, has actually been linked with a move to Molineux. He has risen up through the academy of his current club and has broken into their first-team over recent times.
Former Aston Villa striker John Duran has been backed for a surprise return to England. Al-Nassr forked out a whopping £65million to lure him to Saudi Arabia from Aston Villa last year. However, the 21-year-old has since left the Middle East on loan to Fenerbahce in Turkey and is due to spend the entire term in Istanbul.
Free agent midfielder Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has been tipped for a switch to Wolves. He is available for nothing after his recent departure from Besiktas and he is now weighing up his options in the game. The ex-Arsenal and Liverpool man has emerged as a possible target for Birmingham City but nothing has materialised on that front.
Nico Raskin has also been mentioned as a potential addition for Wolves from Rangers. The Gers managed to keep hold of him in the summer but may face a battle to do the same down the line. They paid just £1.3million to land him from Standard Liege and he has since established himself as one of their most prized assets.
Who could leave Wolves?
Wolves goalkeeper Jose Sa could leave in a couple of months, AI believes. The stopper has fallen out of favour over recent times and his situation is up in the air. He provides back-up between the sticks behind Sam Johnstone.
Forward Strand Larsen has also been predicted to leave after previous interest from Newcastle United. He stayed put in the end but it remains to be seen how long he will stick around for. He joined on an initial loan deal from Celta Vigo before his transfer was later made permanent.
The 25-year-old played a key role in Wolves’ survival last term under former head coach Vitor Pereira. He scored 14 league goals and was a popular figure. However, he has since struggled to find his shooting boots and appears to be low on confidence. Prior to moving to England, he had different spells across Europe with the likes of Sarpsborg in Norway, FC Groningen in Holland and Celta in Spain.
