Wolves are starting to make moves in the transfer window.
It’s been reported that Emmanuel Agbadou will become a Wolves player later this week, with the player having done his medical in France yesterday.
It was thought that Agbadou would be in attendance at Molineux for last night’s game with Nottingham Forest.
But the player has yet to receive a work permit, which Wolves are hoping to sort out in the coming days. The club want him available for this weekend’s FA Cup game with Bristol City.
But it was claimed Wolves are looking to hand Vitor Pereira two new defensive recruits this month, and attention is already turning to who Wolves could sign after Agbadou.
Seemingly, a move for Kevin Danso won’t happen now after he rejected Wolves.
But it would appear Wolves now have eyes on a defender from Chelsea.
Wolves interested in transfer for Chelsea defender Renato Veiga
According to the Daily Mail, Wolves and Bournemouth are both interested in a potential move for Chelsea defender Renato Veiga.
Veiga only joined Chelsea in the summer from FC Basel, for a reported fee of £12 million.
But minutes have been hard to come by for the Portugal international, who has mostly featured in Chelsea’s UEFA Conference League campaign so far this season.
It’s also claimed there is interest from Juventus, Stuttgart and Napoli.
Veiga is a versatile player, who can operate in central defence, at left-back or even in central midfield.
Wolves’ Portuguese contingent could appeal to Veiga
So Wolves look to be Keen to land another defender on top of Agbadou, and Veiga could provide some good competition for Toti Gomes.
The fact he can play three positions is very handy, and you would have thought that Wolves stand a good chance of landing him.
It will depend on what Chelsea want to do. Since they only signed him in the summer, the Blues may well consider sanctioning a loan move for the 21-year-old.
But Wolves already have a strong Portuguese contingent at the club, which could help here. Jose Sa, Nelson Semedo Toti, Goncalo Guedes, Carlos Forbs and Rodrigo Gomes are all that the club.
And then, Wolves have Matheus Cunha, Andre, Pedro Lima and Joao Gomes – Brazilian players who speak Portuguese.
