“Shock Twist: Wolves now in pole position to sign “incredible” 243 career-goal striker – Vitor Pereira Left Reeling by Transfer Bombshell As Star Player Threatens To Leave Club At The End Of The Season
Wolverhampton Wanderers are in the market for attacking reinforcements this summer and look to be at the front of the queue for a proven goalscorer, per recent developments.
Wolverhampton Wanderers’ forward line could be altered
Vitor Pereira is seen as a man of the people at Molineux and will likely be given the full support of both the club’s hierarchy and fans heading into the summer transfer window. However, Matheus Cunha’s uncertain future at Wolves is set to become one of the stories of the next few months amid rumours linking the Brazil forward with a high-profile move to Manchester United.
After a return of 17 goals and six assists in 33 appearances, the 25-year-old has become one of the most sought-after forwards in the Premier League.
From a Wolves perspective, Cunha’s decision to sign a new deal earlier this year may offer some encouragement. Nevertheless, Arsenal, Aston Villa and clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also attentive to his situation.
Jorgen Strand Larsen is back in contention for the Old Gold off the back of missing out in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City last weekend, which led to Jean‐Ricner Bellegarde operating as a central striker.
Clearly, rotational options are needed in the final third to handle the rough and tumble of juggling top-flight football with domestic cup competitions.
Hwang Hee-chan has struggled for rhythm this campaign, begging the question of whether one or two could move out of the forward line to make way for new blood.
While Wolves plot how they will scale up ahead of next season, they are now said to be ahead of the rest in the hunt for one of England’s most prolific forwards over recent years.
Wolves leading the race to sign Jamie Vardy
According to Football Insider, Wolves are in ‘pole position’ to sign Jamie Vardy once his Leicester City contract expires at the end of the season. The former Three Lions international, who has been labelled “incredible” by Gary Lineker, is seen as someone that could be a valuable option off the bench for Pereira moving into 2025/26.
Jamie Vardy’s career tally for club and country
Leeds United and Wrexham are also in the hunt to sign the 38-year-old, though he would prefer to stay in the Premier League rather than dropping down to join the latter following the Foxes’ relegation under Ruud van Nistelrooy.
Intriguingly, the Whites are said to have doubts over his longevity, paving the way for Wolves to steal a march on Daniel Farke’s side to push a deal over the line.
Deemed to be making the ‘biggest move’ to sign Vardy out of all his interested suitors, the Old Gold could now be on the verge of securing the signature of a clinical striker who wouldn’t cost a penny to bring in.
Admittedly, there may be doubters who question his value beyond the short-term, but experience can be a priceless commodity that shouldn’t be underestimated.
