The new Premier League season is now less than two weeks away, and Wolves still need several new players.
Three new faces have arrived so far, but Wolves have offloaded many more, meaning Vitor Pereira is short in a number of positions.
The Wolves manager still needs a new midfielder, a right wing-back, a striker and possibly another versatile forward.
As things currently stand, Wolves’ squad is far weaker than it was last season, and fans have been expressing their concern on social media.
But there’s still time for Wolves to rectify the situation. Granted, it’s been a difficult window for a lot of clubs, but the newly restructured recruitment team has the chance to put things right.
In recent days, Wolves were linked with a move for Ben Doak.
The Liverpool winger is currently the subject of interest from several clubs, including West Ham United, and the Reds will listen to offers now, after rejecting bids in January.
And some Wolves fans have now given their verdict.
Wolves fans want Ben Doak signed
Doak is a talented young player who has so far made 10 appearances for the first-team at Liverpool.
But he’s in a tricky spot, with top players like Mo Salah, Hugo Ekitike, Cody Gakpo ahead of him in the pecking order. Alexander Isak could also yet join from Newcastle United.
So there’s potential for Doak to go – and Wolves are said to be ‘keen’.
It remains to be seen if £20 million would still be Liverpool’s asking price though. Doak is now in the final year of his contract at Anfield, which theoretically could require the Reds to accept a lower fee.
Some Wolves fans believe he would make a great addition.
@Wwfc2429961: “Loan with option.”
@DomDanbury: “Good player, we need homegrown incomings too.”
@sAmwolvezzz: “Get him in for the homegrown.”
@Doreenbeemyself: “A loan deal would be excellent.”
@CharlieShu23705: “Would be a class deal.”
Doak on loan would be most ideal for Wolves
With Goncalo Guedes having now left, there is scope for Wolves bringing in a replacement.
Doak may not be as experienced, but the Scottish gem is a player who’s highly thought of by Liverpool, and yesterday in their pre-season friendly with Atletico Bilbao he shone alongside some top players, even getting on the scoresheet.
In an ideal world, Wolves would bring Doak in on loan.
Money is tight, and it would be great to save on a fee and instead commit more money on a new midfielder or right wing-back.
Juanlu Sanchez is a target for Wolves, although he seems to prefer a move to Napoli.
Julian Ryeson is also being looked at by Wolves, so the club may need a decent chunk of cash to prise him away from Borussia Dortmund.
