For many dedicated Wolves supporters, the arrival of the January transfer window can’t come soon enough. The ongoing season has been a challenging one for the team, with Wolves securing their first Premier League win only recently after 11 games, triumphing over Southampton 2-0 at Molineux.
Gary O’Neil continues to face immense pressure, though his recent victory may have bought him some additional time in the hot seat. Fosun, the owners, are eagerly hoping for a turnaround at Wolves, emphasizing that results are now paramount after a tough beginning to the season.
As the transfer window approaches, all eyes are on Wolves to see what moves they will make. The imminent signing of a new central defender is widely anticipated, but there may also be departures on the horizon. Molineux News takes a closer look at players who might be seeking an exit.
Goncalo Guedes, despite showing promise this season, has struggled for consistent game time. O’Neil’s reluctance to start him in Premier League matches, despite his contributions in cup games, has raised questions. With Villarreal reportedly interested in re-signing him in January, Guedes may push for a move if his situation doesn’t improve significantly.
Rodrigo Gomes, who once labeled his switch to Wolves as “a dream come true,” has found his time at the club challenging. Despite an impressive pre-season performance and early goal-scoring feats, he remains on the fringes. Fans are growing concerned as O’Neil seems to overlook him. If his playing time doesn’t increase, a loan move could be on the cards for the second half of the season.
Pablo Sarabia, another player who has seen limited action, might also consider an exit in January. Despite starting the recent league games, Sarabia has largely been underutilized this season. Given his skills and experience, he should be a key player, but that status has eluded him thus far. His future at Wolves remains uncertain as the transfer window approaches.
His potential has been glimpsed, but he may not be fitting for Wolves or the Premier League. Sarabia is a transfer target for Sevilla, and if his playing time remains limited, he could aim for a January exit. With Wolves possibly considering a sale to prevent losing him for free later on.
