Vitor Pereira has transformed Wolves’ season, guiding the team to 13th place in the Premier League after taking over in December. However, the manager faces a dilemma in the summer regarding the left-back position.
Hugo Bueno, who was loaned to Feyenoord, has impressed under Robin van Persie and will return to Wolves. Bueno’s form has generated transfer interest, and Pereira will decide his next steps. This could create a battle with Rodrigo Gomes, who has won over the hearts of Molineux fans.
Journalist Nathan Judah predicts a competition between the two players, with Bueno potentially having an edge due to his experience and growth at Feyenoord. However, Gomes has shown his ability to excel in the role, and his versatility could allow him to play on either flank.
Both players are statistically comparable, and Pereira might find a solution to play both simultaneously, given Gomes’ deployability on either flank. The upcoming pre-season will be crucial in determining the future of the back five, and Pereira’s decision will shape the team’s dynamics.
