Jose Mourinho ‘set to land another Premier League job’
Jorge Mendes is to help Jose Mourinho secure his next job in the Premier League, with Wolves being mentioned as a possibility by Don Balon. After his sacking by Tottenham, you get the impression that Mourinho has exhausted all of his options at the top end of the Premier League table. His past affiliation with Chelsea and Spurs rule him out of the running for the Arsenal job, while any ex-Manchester United manager is not going to be replacing Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. If The Special One is to remain in England, compromises may have to be made. As per Don Balon, a drop down to mid-table could be on the cards for the Portuguese. Don Balon report that, with doubts emerging over the future of Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux, Mourinho could take the Wolves job ahead of next season. It’s...

Wolverhampton Wanderers ready to offload 25-year-old attacker, set £30m asking price
Wolverhampton Wanderers are prepared to part ways with Adama Traore as they aim to recoup funds for their summer transfer business, Football Insider reports. Traore had an impressive 2019/2020 campaign with the Midlands outfit, registering six goals and 12 assists from 54 appearances across all competitions. However, he has struggled to replicate his form this term with just two goals and two assists from 34 appearances for the club to date.

Wolves reportedly want Iceland international ‘described as the next Gylfi Sigurdsson’
According to The Telegraph, Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen on bringing IFK Norrkoping midfielder Isak Bergmann Johannesson to the Premier League this summer. The £5 million-valued Iceland international has been described as the next Gylfi Sigurdsson to come out of his country. He made his international debut against England last November and looks to be a promising future talent. Sportslens View Wolves will look to strengthen their squad this summer after what has been a disappointing campaign, given how impressive they were during the last two seasons. Johannesson is on their radar, but there are issues about getting a post-Brexit work permit for the 18-year-old. A new points-based system has been put in place due to the United Kingdom’s exit from the European Union. It will be challeng...
Manchester United target 24-year-old midfielder, could sign him for just over £30m
Manchester United have added Wolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Ruben Neves to their summer shortlist, 90mins claims. The Portuguese joined Wolves from Porto in a surprise transfer in the summer of 2017 when they were still in the Championship. He has developed into a quality central midfielder during his three-and-a-half years with the club, but he could be on the move this year. According to 90min, the club’s owners Fosun are not planning to shut their operations like at Jiangsu, but are looking to change their strategy. The Midlands outfit are likely to part ways with a number of high-profile players this summer with Neves being one of those. The same report claims that Neves, who is valued in excess of £30 million, is also open to a fresh challenge after four years at the club. United ...
‘Brilliant’, ‘Lifeline’ – Some Newcastle fans react to Traore’s winning goal vs Fulham
Wolverhampton Wanderers handed Newcastle United a major survival boost with their late win over Fulham last night. Spanish winger Adama Traore scored the winning goal of the game deep into injury-time, and Fulham remain three points adrift of Newcastle in the table. A win this week could send the Magpies six points clear of Fulham and make a big difference in the relegation battle. The Magpies will be desperate to beat the drop this season, and they will be keen to cash in at Burnley this weekend. Newcastle have been inconsistent in recent weeks, but the draw against Tottenham Hotspur in their last game will have given them some belief. Callum Wilson’s return to the starting XI could make a big difference for Steve Bruce’s side. Allan Saint-Maximin may also feature against Burnley. Relegat...

Everton blow late lead against Crystal Palace
Everton’s hopes of a top-four finish in the Premier League were dented by Michy Batshuayi’s 86th minute equaliser to salvage a 1-1 draw for Crystal Palace at Goodison Park on Monday. The Toffees were made to rue a string of missed chances either side of James Rodriguez’s opener as they only narrowly closed the gap on fourth-placed Chelsea to four points. Rodriguez’s return from injury for the first time since Everton ended a two-decade wait to beat Liverpool away in the Merseyside derby in February sparked a far more enterprising performance from Carlo Ancelotti’s men. Vicente Guaita was forced into fine saves from Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Richarlison in a dominant first-half display from the home side. Rodriguez finally broke the deadlock 11 minutes into the second-half when he fired hom...
Wolves preparing move for 24-year-old striker, who has won six aerial duels per game
Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering a move for Sheffield United striker Oliver McBurnie as they aim to bolster their frontline for next season, The Sun claims. The Midlands outfit have had a disappointing 2020/21 campaign, and they are languishing in the bottom half of the league table in 14th with only 35 points. One of their main concerns this season has been the lack of goals, and they have netted only 28 times in their 29 top-flight games. They have thrived in the past with Raul Jimenez’s strong hold-up play, but they have missed his services for many months after his skull fracture. William Jose was brought in during January to address the concern, but the Brazilian has not been able to make an impact and has yet to score in 10 outings. There are suggestions that Wolves could...

West Ham United take on Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Monday and they will be hoping to get into the top four with a win. The Hammers are currently 5th in the Premier League table just two points adrift of fourth-placed Chelsea. David Moyes’ side have been inconsistent in the last few weeks and they have failed to win three of the last four Premier League matches.
