Molineux transfer news: Wolves tipped to 'cash in' on 'sought-after' talent

TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook has tipped Wolves to sell some of their best players this summer to give Bruno Lage the chance to rebuild his squad.

The Portuguese is enjoying a brilliant first season in the Wolves dugout but hasn't been overly busy in either transfer window.

Despite working on a relatively tight budget, Lage has performed heroics this season.

Heading into the winter break, Wolves had won three Premier League games on the bounce and sit 8th, just four points behind the Champions League places and have a game in hand on fourth-place Manchester United.

Victories in their next two league fixtures against Arsenal and Tottenham could see Lage's side suddenly become serious top four contenders, although they have an FA Cup fourth round tie to contend with first.

Lage has spent just under £50m in his first two windows as Wolves manager, although almost half of that went on signing Jose Sa from Roma and Hwang Hee-chan's permanent deal from RB Leipzig, which was confirmed at the end of January.

In terms of outgoings, Wolves saw Adama Traore return on loan to Barcelona, although they have an option to buy, while Arsenal and Manchester United are both interested in signing Ruben Neves, who'll have just two years left on his contract at the end of the season.

And Crook reckons that the Midlands outfit could end up selling some of their key players to give Lage the chance to improve his squad.

He told GIVEMESPORT: "I think there's going to be a lot of players in that Wolves team who are sought after in the summer, and I think they will probably cash in on at least one of those and then use that money to really give Bruno Lage a chance to rebuild."
