According to a recent rumor, Wolverhampton Wanderers are hoping to add another defender during the remaining transfer season.
Wolves suffer four consecutive defeats
Arsenal defeated Vitor Pereira’s team 1-0 on Saturday afternoon, resulting in their fourth straight Premier League loss. Myles Lewis-Skelly’s red card gave the Midlands team an early lead, but that lead vanished in the 70th minute when Joao Gomes was also sent off. Four minutes later, Riccardo Calafiori of Arsenal scored what ultimately proved to be the game-winning goal.
Wolves have now lost to Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Arsenal in their last four Premier League games. However, despite the defeat to Arsenal, Pereira wasn’t too disappointed with his side’s performance. Pereira said after the game: “At the end of the game, I tell you we lost a big chance to win this match because we play a very good game. In my opinion, we played a very good game.
“Tactically, commitment, energy, we did everything to win the game. What [we] missed was to score one goal. We had two chances before they scored; we have two clear chances to score the first goal. After the yellow card for Joao, they score one goal, and we didn’t.”
It has been a quiet transfer window so far for the Old Gold, as they have brought in just one new signing, despite the fact they have been sitting around the bottom of the table for the majority of the season. Defender Emmanuel Agbadou joined Wolves earlier in this transfer window from Stade de Reims, and it would be expected that Pereira would like to add to that signing even more so, after the defeat to the Gunners.
Wolves working to sign another new defender for Pereira
In fact, the Premier League side are working on another transfer, as according to Football Insider journalist Pete O’Rourke, Wolves are looking to sign a new defender before the transfer window closes on February 3rd.
Wolves’ current center-back options are Toti, Santiago Bueno, Yerson Mosquera, Bastien Meupiyou, Craig Dawson, and, of course, Agbadou. Mosquera is currently sidelined due to injury, and it appears that Pereira is eager to add more competition at the core of his defense because he still has a lot of work to do to keep his team above the dotted line. It is unclear whether he will sign a new defender permanently or on loan, but Pereira clearly views this as a must given that they have allowed 52 goals while scoring 32 goals.
