Following a busy deadline day, Wolverhampton Wanderers have already set their sights on the summer transfer window and are reportedly considering a swoop to sign a player they made a winter approach for.
Wolves transfer news
Having struggled to get all of their reinforcements over the line in the summer, Wolves ensured that they welcomed the fresh faces they so desperately needed during the January transfer window. Even after losing out on their top options, those at Molineux still crucially managed to hand Vitor Pereira two central defenders and a central midfielder in the form of Emmanuel Agbadou, Marshall Munetsi and Nasser Djiga.
After putting pen to paper as Wolves’ final arrival on deadline day, Munetsi told the club’s official website: “I’m delighted. It’s a dream come true for me.
“I’ve always wanted to be part of something big, and being part of Wolves is something that is very big for me, and is big for my family. It’s a team that I’ve also seen from afar, and the Premier League is the best place to be, so I’m delighted to join the family, to join the team.”

It may not be too long before the midfielder has a fresh partner at the heart of Pereira’s side either. According to A Bola, as relayed by Sport Witness, Wolves are now considering a summer move to sign Hidemasa Morita from Sporting Club having already made an approach to sign the 29-year-old in the winter window.
Reportedly put off by the midfielder’s €10m (£8m) price tag so close to 30 years old, it will certainly be interesting to see how quickly Wolves’ stance changes if they’re on the hunt for another fresh face in the summer window.
“Underrated” Morita would add key experience
With Mario Lemina’s future still in question, Morita could arrive in the summer to replace the midfielder’s experience at a crucial time for Pereira’s side. Should they stay up and avoid what would be disastrous Premier League relegation, Wolves should set their sights on higher ambitions and Morita could play a large part in that.
Dubbed “underrated” by football presenter Alex Brice, the 29-year-old may yet get the opportunity to make one of the biggest moves of his career just as some begin to question whether he is too old to complete such a switch in the summer.
Current Manchester United boss and former Sporting manager Ruben Amorim was also full of praise for Morita during his tenure, telling reporters as relayed by Breaking The Lines last summer: “I think every manager should train at least one Japanese player.
“A player who is always ready to help the team, apologises 1,000 times a day, is very respectful, will play anywhere and just wants to learn…I only have good things to say about Hidemasa Morita.”
