Wolves are approaching the January transfer window with intent as the Old Gold continue to battle near the relegation zone.
Vitor Pereira’s unbeaten start as Wolves manager came to an end on week 20 of the Premier League season, sending the squad back towards the bottom three.
Now level on points with 18th-place Ipswich Town, pressure is on the Old Gold to revive their form, which could be helped by the January transfer window.
Pereira made his transfer wishes clear, in what is expected to be a critical month for the Midlands club.

Wolves transfer news: Updates on Gerson and Vitor Reis links
The Old Gold haven’t wasted any time getting started in the transfer window, with Wolves to welcome Emmanuel Agbadou in the coming days.
The Ivorian defender isn’t the only player said to be on the club’s radar, as Wolves have been linked to Chelsea’s Renato Veiga.
It’s clear that the defence is an area that Pereira is targeting to improve, with a fresh link now coming to light.
Sources close to Molineux News have confirmed that Wolves have interest in Brazilian centre-back Vitor Reis, who currently represents Palmeiras.
The 18-year-old is in demand, as The Athletic noted Real Madrid, Arsenal and Brighton’s interest in the highly-rated teen.
Competition for his transfer has Wolves’ hierarchy feeling pessimistic about a possible deal, realising that it will be a particularly difficult transfer to pull off at this time.
Reis isn’t the only player that sources provided an update on, as Wolves have been linked to Flamengo midfielder Gerson.
Gerson could replace Mario Lemina if the midfielder leaves Wolves this month however, it appears that links to the Brazilian are purely speculative at this moment.
Sources close to Molineux News reveal that the Old Gold have ‘denied any interest’ in the 27-year-old.
Change expected at Wolves before the January window shuts
While Wolves aren’t actively looking at Gerson, that doesn’t mean that the Old Gold won’t seek a new midfielder before the end of the month.
Wolves and Lemina agree a transfer is the best solution amid interest from Saudi Arabia, which could prompt Pereira to explore the midfield market.
Gerson may not be the man although, there’s another player in sight, with Richard Rios linked to Wolves as a possible replacement for the Gabon international.
It’s been a rapid start to the market for Wolves, who are eager to right the wrongs from the summer promptly.
