Wolves Loan Kitolano to Konyaspor for a Year

Wolves have loaned 19 year old Norwegian left wingback, John Kitolano to Konyaspor of the Turkish league for the 2019-20 season. He was unlikely to feature with Jonny and Vinagre ahead of him in the depth chart, so this will allow the youngster to get some game time and develop.

Wolves Make Second Major Splash, Sign Ricardo Pereira from Leicester City

After just one season at Leicester, Ricardo Pereira has decided to leave for greener, Champions League bound pastures. Wolves have paid an incredible £38.9M to secure the signature of the Portuguese phenom, and further strengthen their defense. Pereira will be an instant starter, and with Matt Doherty to provide depth at the position, Wolves look set at right-back for years to come.

Wolves Grab One for the Future with Ante Muric Signing

Following the fanfare of over £80M in signings in the form of Pereira and Carvalho, Wolves have made a more low-key signing here. They have agreed to pay £1,100,000 to Manchester City for rights to their young goalkeeping prospect, Arijanet Muric. The Bosnian goalkeeper stands a towering 6'6, and at just 20 years old still has plenty of potential. Wolves view him as the long-term successor to the 31-year-old Rui Patricio, and he should be given plenty of time to grow into that role.

Wolves Sign Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton for £20M

After being linked for weeks with different striker options, once it was confirmed that Raul Jimenez would not return to Wolves after his loan, they have finally got their man. No, it will not be Sebastian Haller, Yussuf Poulsen or even Mario Balotelli. Wolves have decided to look within at the premier league and pry one of the better English talents away from a rival. For a £20 million fee, they have secured the signature of Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Europa League-bound Everton. He will wear the #9 shirt and have the responsibility of being the focal point of Wolves' attack at just 22 years old.

Wolves Loan Rafa Mir to Celta Vigo for the Season

Wolves have loaned out 22-year-old striker, Rafa Mir, to Celta Vigo for the season. Mir had an excellent end to last year's campaign, filling in nicely for Raul Jimenez with 12 goals in all competitions. However, Wolves have decided that Calvert-Lewin is the first-choice #9, which will limit opportunities for Mir to develop. With Rafa being from Spain, Nuno felt a loan to a mid-table Spanish club like Celta Vigo, would be the best way to get the young striker playing time in comfortable environment. Léo Bonatini, a 25 year old Brazilian striker who spent last year on loan with Vitória Guimarães, will fill in as the backup for this season.
