Wolves are preparing for the arrivals of Pedro Lima and Jorgen Strand Larsen, but when can we expect to see the duo?
Very few Wolves supporters would have anticipated just how strongly Gary O’Neil and Matt Hobbs would start the 2024 summer transfer window.
After the lows of the 2023 window, it was imperative that the Midlands club replenished the squad ahead of the 2024/25 season.
With Tommy Doyle and Rodrigo Gomes already on board, O’Neil looks set to welcome two additional faces to his project, with a fresh update now provided.
Fabrizio Romano gives timeframe on when Wolves will complete the signings of Pedro Lima and Jorgen Strand Larsen
Wolves’ successful swoop for Brazilian right-back Pedro Lima has been known for some time, as the Old Gold beat Chelsea to the signing of the 18-year-old.
The player’s agent was spotted on July 1st at Compton Park ahead of the move, with Fabrizio Romano also providing an update on the status of fellow target Jorgen Strand Larsen’s arrival.
Taking to X, the renowned journalist revealed that the duo are ‘both set’ to undergo medicals and sign for Wolves ‘this week’ following speculation.
Lima’s move was always expected to gather pace after his 18th birthday, with the deal for Strand Larsen moving quickly after Wolves’ interest was announced.
Lima and Strand Larsen signings show a statement of intent at Wolves
The 2023/24 campaign was eye-opening at Molineux, as fans were shown a glimpse of just how positive things on the pitch can be under O’Neil’s guidance.
One of the overriding factors that let the squad down last term was the lack of depth available to the manager, something Hobbs and Fosun are seemingly looking to solve.
In Lima, the boss has a highly-rated young talent to uncover in the years ahead and in Strand Larsen, O’Neil’s transfer wish will finally come true.
The Old Gold have desired a reliable number nine since the devastating injury to Raul Jimenez, who was the last strong talisman that Molineux had the pleasure of watching.
There will be hope that the 24-year-old can build on his impressive 2023/24 season in La Liga when his Premier League journey commences.
It’s poised to be an exciting summer for Wolves and O’Neil, as the manager will have several new faces to integrate into his squad throughout pre-season.
