Wolves chairman Jeff Shi has recently penned an open letter to the fans, in which he detailed that it will be difficult for the club to make any major signings this summer, as a result of the limitations brought about by Financial Fair Play restrictions.
As such, there may not be many more arrivals through the door at Molineux this summer, and there is also concern over the future of manager Julen Lopetegui, with the Spaniard now considering his position, as a result of the club’s transfer woes.
However, the Old Gold continue to be linked with reinforcements in the middle of the park, following the sales of Joao Moutinho and Ruben Neves, and they are reportedly keen on signing Real Betis midfielder Guido Rodriguez.
The Molineux outfit have had “contacts” over a move for the 29-year-old, according to journalist Rudy Galetti, but they have other options in mind to bolster their midfield, with Alex Scott being considered, but Bournemouth could hijack their move for the Bristol City ace.
Scott is not the only young midfielder that Wolves have their eye on, with The Sun now reporting they are keen on Doyle, who helped Sheffield United gain promotion to the Premier League last season.
However, the Old Gold may face stiff competition for the midfielder, as Celtic are also keen on bringing him in, and the Scottish champions’ strong relationship with Manchester City could enable them to win the race for his signature
Another player is about to leave Wolves, with Luke Cundle set to join Plymouth Argyle on loan.
The youngster has not really featured for Wanderers in pre-season.
The 21-year-old returned to Molineux this summer having spent last season on loan at Swansea City.
Another player is about to leave Wolves, with Luke Cundle set to join Plymouth Argyle on loan.
The youngster has not really featured for Wanderers in pre-season.
The 21-year-old returned to Molineux this summer having spent last season on loan at Swansea City.
He said: “Wolves midfielder Luke Cundle [2002] has agreed to join Plymouth Argyle on loan deal until June 2024.
“Told medical tests have been booked on Monday.”
Seemingly, Julen Lopetegui is more than happy with the midfield options he current has at Molineux.
He can call on Mario Lemina, Joao Gomes, Boubacar Traore, Joe Hodge, and Matheus Nunes.
He can also use Pablo Sarabia or Matheus Cunha as a number 10.
Another loan move the right call for Luke Cundle
So it looks as though Cundle will be spending another season away from Molineux.
That is probably the right call, and one that doesn’t come as too much of a surprise.
Cundle’s lack of involvement for Wolves in pre-season perhaps always pointed to a fresh loan move.
It will be a good challenge for him.
Plymouth, who took Wolves defender Nigel Lonwijk on loan last season, gained promotion to the Championship for the coming season.
And so, the objective for them will be to fight to stay in the division.
It’ll be a good opportunity for Cundle to show his steel as well as his technical ability.
