Wolves: New midfielder a 'priority' after Guedes at Molineux

Wolverhampton Wanderers will prioritise the signing of a central midfielder before the transfer window closes, according to Ryan Taylor of the Daily Express.

Bruno Lage’s side have made just one signing this season, with the arrival of Burnley and Republic of Ireland centre-back Nathan Collins for £20.5m.

Wolves are currently under pressure to make signings before September’s transfer window closure, with the club currently only possessing three out-and-out senior centre-midfielders in the squad, in Rúben Neves, João Moutinho, and Leander Dendoncker.

And with Moutinho injured for the club’s 2-1 defeat in their Premier League opener at Leeds, the club have no more room for midfield injuries, if they want to have a full senior starting eleven this season.

The club have been linked with a variety of midfielders this season, including Sporting Lisbon’s Matheus Nunes, and River Plate’s Enzo Fernandez, but neither deal ended up materialising, with the latter heading to Benfica instead this summer.

And according to Taylor, a midfield addition will be prioritised this summer, alongside a centre-back and striker.

He told GIVEMESPORT: “Enzo Fernandez was another one Wolves looked at, but didn’t happen.

“I think central midfield will still be one of priority, alongside a right sided centre-back and striker, but Nunes is a difficult deal to do.”

According to multiple sources, Wolves have agreed a fee of more than £27m with Valencia for the signing of forward Gonçalo Guedes this summer.

The 25-year-old will be just Wolves’ second addition of the transfer window so far, but it seems that the club will now move quickly to secure more signings, now that the Premier League season has begun.
