The departure of Matheus Cunha will create waves at Molineux this summer, but there is another player at Wolves who has the potential to step up in his absence.
With Man United finalizing their move for Cunha, Vitor Pereira faces the challenge of finding a replacement for the Brazilian forward. Wolves’ interest in Bilal El Khannouss indicates that they are already planning for the upcoming transfer window.
However, the solution to the Cunha dilemma may already be within the squad in the form of Jean-Ricner Bellegarde. Having joined Wolves in 2023, Bellegarde has patiently waited for his opportunity and Cunha’s departure could be the breakthrough he needs.

Bellegarde has showcased his talent in the limited opportunities he has been given, with performances comparable to top players like Kevin De Bruyne and Mohamed Salah. His impressive display against Everton in March sparked belief among Wolves fans that he could effectively fill the void left by Cunha.
The French midfielder has praised Pereira’s positive impact on the team, highlighting the coach’s ability to instill confidence and a winning mentality. It seems like the perfect time to give Bellegarde a chance to shine at Molineux and prove his worth as a key player for Wolves.
