Wolverhampton Wanderers could be set for a busy deadline day today, with the hierarchy currently working on numerous deals to bolster Rob Edwards’ side.
The 43-year-old will be wanting reinforcements in numerous key areas before tonight’s 7pm deadline, especially if the club are to mount a bid for Premier League survival.
With 14 games to go, the club are 18 points from safety at present, which could require a miracle for the side to get out of the huge hole they find themselves in.

As a result, the board could be keeping one eye on the future, potentially identifying numerous options to improve their chances of an immediate return from the Championship.
One area of the pitch has been targeted as a result, with such a department undoubtedly contributing to their lowly Premier League standard during the current season.
Wolves make £8m bid to land a new talisman
Over recent days, it’s been confirmed that Wolves have submitted a £9m bid to land Southampton star Adam Armstrong, with a deal expected to be completed before the deadline.
The 28-year-old has netted 11 times in his 29 appearances in the Championship this campaign, subsequently sitting third in the division’s goalscoring charts.

However, despite the pending move for the Englishman, the hierarchy have targeted another centre-forward in the form of Torino star Che Adams.
According to Pete O’Rourke, Wolves have submitted an £8m bid to land the Scottish international, who has scored four times in his 22 Serie A appearances in 2025/26.
It's further revealed that the play and his family want to return to England.
It remains to be seen if his current side are willing to part ways with the 29-year-old, but it could see the aforementioned pair star together once again, after previously thriving together at Southampton.
Why Adams would be the perfect Strand Larsen replacement
The hierarchy’s efforts to land new attacking reinforcements before tonight’s deadline have no doubt been increased after a deal to sell Jorgen Strand Larsen was agreed.

The Norwegian international has agreed a £48m deal, including add-ons, to join fellow Premier League side Crystal Palace, with the 25-year-old currently having a medical in South London.
There’s no denying the centre-forward has struggled for form in the current campaign, subsequently registering just one league goal in his 22 appearances to date.
However, his departure would open up a place in the squad for the likes of Armstrong and Adams, with the pair’s experience in England’s top-flight and Championship no doubt being considered.
Whilst Armstrong looks set to be confirmed before tonight’s deadline, a move for Adams could be somewhat trickier to complete, but it’s a move that could allow the club to land the perfect Strand Larsen replacement.

When comparing their stats this season, the Scottish international has managed to outperform the outgoing star in numerous key areas within the final third.
Adams has managed to score four times more goals in the same number of appearances this season, whilst also achieving a better shot on target accuracy rate.

Such numbers showcase his clinical edge within the final third, something which Wolves have struggled with, as see by their standing as the Premier League’s lowest scorers.
He’s also managed to complete more of the passes he’s attempted this campaign, whilst also registering more chances created per 90 in 2025/26.
The aforementioned areas highlight his all-round ability in the final third of the pitch, which could allow numerous players to bolster their own tallies in front of goal.
Adams’ dominance over Strand Larsen is further reflected in his higher aerial success rate, whilst registering more touches in the opposition area per 90.

His all-round quality is there for all to see, with his potential £8m deal being a bargain regardless of what division the club find themselves in next season.
Selling Strand Larsen for £48m and replacing him with the Scotsman for just £8m would be phenomenal business, with the hierarchy needing to work tirelessly to get a move done before the 7pm deadline.
