Final chance to see what is missing at Molineux
- Published
The word from Compton is that Wolves remain hopeful of adding to their squad before Friday's transfer deadline.
Boss Gary O'Neil knows what they need and what he wants, but Chelsea's visit on Sunday gives others the chance to see what is missing at Molineux.
Their chase of Dara O'Shea is ending in failure, with the defender poised to join Ipswich, and Wolves have already moved on. They could now prioritise a winger, filling the gap left by 拢54m Pedro Neto's move to Chelsea, and there is interest in 19-year-old Burnley winger Luca Koleosho.
Brentford rejected Wolves' interest in Yoane Wissa, and Italy Under-21 international Koleosho fits the young and cost-effective player with resale value that the club are keen on.
As fate would have it, the Clarets come to Molineux in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
But, for now, the focus is on Chelsea and Neto's return, after his switch to Stamford Bridge earlier this month.
Wolves did the double over the Blues last season, capped by Matheus Cunha's hat-trick in west London and, with Chelsea 'in transition' - as Gary O'Neil called them - Wolves will fancy their chances of maintaining their form against the Blues.
Since Wolves' return to the Premier League in 2018, Chelsea have won just three of their 12 meetings with Wolves.
