Vitor Pereira eyeing two signings for Wolves – On his list from market he knows well
Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Vítor Pereira has turned his attention to Brazil in an attempt to strengthen his midfield options this month.
That’s according to UOL, who report that Flamengo’s Gerson and Palmeiras’ Richard Ríos are both on the Wolves manager’s transfer wish list.
They report that both players are being monitored by the Wolves coach, who knows Brazilian football well after working there with Corinthians and Flamengo in recent years.
He’s following both German and Ríos with interest as he looks to strengthen his options and Molineux and save his side from a relegation battle.
This was backed up by journalist Neto, who appeared on the Os Donos Da Bola show and confirmed that Wolves were looking at both players and assessing their situations.
Neither he nor UOL provide any further details on the matter beyond that at this moment in time, so perhaps Wolves are simply doing their homework before making any moves.
It should be noted that reports earlier today made it clear they would be he happy to sell Mario Lemina this month, and he has interest from Al Shabab, so perhaps this Brazilian duo are being eyed as replacements if anything comes of that.
Wolves are working on a new deal for in-form star Matheus Cunha in a bid to ward off Arsenal interest with the Gunners looking to sign a new forward amid Bukayo Saka injury
Wolves are working on a new contract for Matheus Cunha amid January interest from Arsenal.
The Gunners want to sign a new forward this month following the hamstring injury suffered by Bukayo Saka.
Cunha is emerging as a genuine target for Mikel Arteta but Wolves are determined to fend off their interest by offering the Brazilian an improved deal at Molineux.
The forward has two-and-half years left to run on his current contract, but is likely to tempted by a move to Arsenal.
But if Wolves can successfully tie their forward down to a new deal, which could include a release clause, it would effectively end Arsenal’s hopes of a deal this month unless the Emirates Stadium club are willing to pay well over the player’s valuation.
Wolves have shown a sharp improvement under newly appointed head coach Vitor Pereira, but remain in relegation danger. With that in mind, the Molineux club are determined to keep the 25-year-old this month, though sources close to the deal are not completely ruling out a move.
