Gary O’Neil just needs to sign one inexpensive transfer target this summer to address a major issue at Wolves.
Wolves will finally add players to their roster in the summer as Gary O’Neil looks for critical additions.
O’Neil led his team to a respectable 14th place finish, but the club’s potential to place higher was limited by the lack of depth at his disposal.
Although the management is hoping to bring in a new striker this summer, the most recent connection may finally provide a solution to a major issue at Molineux.
Wolves may consider pursuing Nico Elvedi again as a transfer target. Last summer, Nico Elvedi was a target for Wolves, but he chose to sign a new contract with Borussia Monchengladbach.
The Old Gold’may return’ to their interest, according to The Athletic, suggesting that the Switzerland international may depart the Bundesliga this summer.
The intriguing aspect of a potential move is Elvedi’s £8.5 million release clause, which makes him a feasible alternative for O’Neil to take into account when determining which transfers to prioritize.
A center-back may be just behind a forward on the manager’s priority list, especially in light of the weaknesses that were made clear at the close of the season.
Gary O’Neil can solve a big issue at Wolves by signing Elvedi
The problems at the back were equally concerning as the depth of Wolves’ attack.
The Old’s Gold finished the season with a dismal five points out of a possible thirty in their final ten league games.
The loss of Craig Dawson, whose injury-shortened season was deeply felt in central defence, was largely to blame for the decline in form.
Journalist Liam Keen called Dawson’s departure “pivotal” to Wolves since the 34-year-old gave the back line so much structure.
Wolves need to strengthen their defense this summer, since Santi Bueno and other players were unable to fill the vacuum left by the Premier League veteran.
Through Transfermarkt, O’Neil was able to sign Elvedi, a player with extensive German experience who had made 260 games in the Bundesliga during his career.
Max Eberl, the previous Sporting Director of Borussia, called Elvedi “incredible” because of his calmness and consistency, something Wolves lacked in the later parts of the season.
The Swiss defender, who would cost Wolves only £8.5 million, is an experienced center-back who would undoubtedly help the Old Gold overcome their lack of depth at the back in time for 2024–2025.
