One Wolves star who excelled while playing for his country this week would have impressed Gary O’Neil.
It will be Gary O’Neil’s big task to organize his Wolves team as the summer transfer window draws near.
At Molineux, the manager will have a busy summer ahead of them managing 15 returning loan players in addition to the newcomers.
Together with that, O’Neil will have to decide the future of a few young players following the season; nevertheless, one player’s recent progress might have made the boss’ life simpler.
Wolves starlet Tawanda Chirewa shone for Zimbabwe on international duty
Several Wolves players are prepared for summertime international competition, as the Copa America and the Euros are about to begin.
Apart from the two competitions, Tawanda Chirewa, a young player from Wolves, has been playing for Zimbabwe in the World Cup qualifying matches.
Over the previous week, the 20-year-old has played against South Africa and Lesotho, making headlines with his performance against the latter.
O’Neil’s head may have turned after his remarkable performance as a versatile young player scored for Zimbabwe during their 3-1 loss.
Journalist Thomas Mlambo praised the Wolves academy product for his performance, calling the forward a “baller” who created “plenty of problems.”
Chirewa’s summer is expected to be significant on the home and international fronts, and his performance against South Africa may have given O’Neil some food for thought.
Gary O’Neil must decide what to do with Chirewa. The manager had to bring up academy players to make up for Wolves’ deficiency in depth from the previous campaign.
Some felt that their audition came too soon and that it could be wise to take a loan period the following term, but Chirewa presented a different picture.
During 2023–2024, the former Ipswich Town sensation made eight Premier League games and seemed at ease; his 75-minute performance against Arsenal was the highlight.
O’Neil would be tempted to set higher goals for Chirewa, who might play a role at Wolves next season, after seeing how well he performed on international duty.
The 20-year-old’s pre-season strategy will be interesting to watch as it will reveal how he plans to approach the 2024–25 campaign at Molineux and beyond.
