Wolves supporters would have woken up happy on Sunday morning.
Wolves’ 2-1 away victory over Ipswich on Saturday meant the side took a huge step toward Premier League survival.
Vitor Pereira was delighted with his side’s win against Ipswich and now knows his men need just a few more wins to guarantee their place in England’s top flight next season.
It isn’t just relegation and survival talk surrounding the club, though. Molineux News brings you all the latest news and transfer rumours on everything Wolves-related.
Vitor Pereira’s striker demands don’t suit Matheus Cunha
Pereira recently revealed that he likes his strikers to have a good defensive work-ethic — something Jorgen Strand Larsen works hard at.
Matheus Cunha, on the other hand, isn’t known for his willingness to track back, and it shows.
Pereira’s comments and Cunha’s poor defensive contributions suggest the Wolves manager wouldn’t be too gutted if the Brazilian left the Midlands in the summer.
Wolves linked with ambitious Jadon Sancho transfer
When it comes to possible replacements for Cunha, Wolves have been linked with Jadon Sancho.
The Manchester United winger, currently on loan with Chelsea, is continuing to struggle and doesn’t look like he’s going to be at Old Trafford or Stamford Bridge next season.
As a result, Molineux has been mooted as a potential destination for England’s once-boy wonder.
How Sancho and Cunha compare
Although Sancho has failed to live up to the high expectations clubs had for him when he left Borussia Dortmund in 2021, he has still produced relatively good numbers.
Sancho’s stats this season are still a long way off the quality Cunha has produced, though, but if there is an opportunity to close a cut-price deal, Fosun might be tempted.
Wolves relaxed over Cunha saga
On the subject of Wolves’ number 10…
Cunha’s suspension, which ends on Sunday, will see him return to face Spurs but it’ll likely be one of the last times fans will see him in a Wolves shirt.
The South American wants to challenge himself at one of the top clubs but Wolves are relaxed about Cunha’s impending departure and the possibility of losing arguably their best player.
Fans want Emmanuel Agbadou captaincy
Cunha might not be the only Wolves player to leave the Midlands this summer. Nelson Semedo is out of contract soon and looks set to move on.
Should the former Barcelona full-back leave for a new challenge, fans want Emmanuel Agbadou to be named Wolves’ captain next season.
Wolves’ stance on Fabio Silva
Another player who could leave the Old Gold is out-on-loan striker Fabio Silva.
The Portuguese striker has been with Las Palmas since last summer, and although playing well, is unlikely to return to Wolves.
In fact, Wolves believe Silva will remain in Spain next season, proving just how much the club have given up on a player who, once upon a time, was supposed to be the next big thing.
