Wolves will reportedly now not be signing a new centre-back today, and Yerson Mosquera is now set to stay at Molineux.
According to Express & Star journalist Liam Keen, the club have decided they are happy with their current options.
That is despite selling Willy Boly to Nottingham Forest.
Wanderers are now down to just four centre-halves, with Toti Gomes and Mosquera the back-ups to Nathan Collins and Maximilian Kilman.
Wanderers had hoped to sign Craig Dawson from West Ham United.
The Poland international is now set to join Aston Villa.
West Ham were unwilling to let Dawson go due to being unable to replace him so late on.
Colombian youngster Mosquera had been linked with a loan move to French club Troyes earlier today.
But that move will now not happen, and he will potentially be in line to get some first-team minutes.
Wolves have also been linked with a move for Jason Denayer in recent days.
He is a free agent, so Wanderers could actually still move for him beyond tonight’s transfer deadline. It remains to be seen if that is something recruitment officials will pursue.
A very concerning claim, as Wolves prepare to press ahead with four centre-backs
This is a concerning update.
If Wolves really are planning to press ahead with just four centre-backs then it is a huge risk.
Toti and Mosquera are both very inexperienced. The latter is still yet to make his Premier League debut.
And on top of this, Wolves are offloading Leander Dendoncker, who had the capacity to play in defence.
It remains to be seen if the club will go for Denayer after the window has closed. Hopefully that is the plan, but for the moment it is a worry.
