After making some last-minute deals in the transfer window, Wolves are back in action in the Premier League this Saturday. Manager Gary O’Neil was hard at work finalizing his squad with the arrival of three new players at Molineux – Sam Johnstone, Brazilian Andre, and Carlos Forbs.
Despite addressing various areas over the summer, Wolves couldn’t ignore the glaring weakness in their defence exposed during the 6-2 loss to Chelsea. O’Neil brought in young talent Bastien Meupiyou to bolster the backline, but struggled to find a suitable replacement for Max Kilman.
The failed pursuits of Trevoh Chalobah and Nayef Aguerd highlighted Wolves’ defensive woes ahead of their match against Nottingham Forest. BBC Sport pundit Chris Sutton raised concerns about the team, especially missing Kilman, but still predicted a goalless draw for the upcoming game.
With the transfer window uncertainty behind them, Wolves need to focus on getting their first win of the season. Facing tough fixtures against Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Liverpool, a victory against Forest could set the tone for the upcoming matches and prevent falling behind early in the season. The pressure is on for O’Neil and his squad to deliver results and show their potential in the Premier League.
