Gary O’Neil will be keen to add depth and quality to his squad ahead of next season’s opener against Arsenal, with Wolves eager to start the new term strongly in the view to challenge for the Premier League top half.
Last campaign was a mixed one as Wanderers finished 14th but enjoyed an excellent spell of form in January and February. Had it not been for injuries and some dreadful VAR calls, the Old Gold could’ve challenged for the top 10 or even the European spots.
Wolves, who have already completed four signings, will be keen to add yet more fresh faces to the squad. Speculation is rife and plenty of reports have accuracy to them, so how could O’Neil’s men line up if the rumours do indeed prove true?
Only including the most credible links and taking into account current injuries, here’s the starting XI Wolves could name away at Arsenal on the opening day.
9. RW: Hwang Hee-Chan
Quite the fan favourite, Hwang always works so hard from the front and is one of the most clinical goalscorers on Wanderers’ books. He’ll be eager to get into double figures once again. | Wolves via Getty Images
10. LW: Matheus Cunha
Cunha was an expensive buy at £45 million but he could prove to be a snip if he continues on his current trajectory. The Brazilian is a devastating finisher and excellent at progressing attacks. | Wolves via Getty Images
11. ST: Jorgen Strand Larsen (confirmed signing)
The Norwegian has arrived from Celta Vigo in a loan deal with an option to buy for £25 million. Wolves finally have their number nine and he’s an exciting prospect. | Wolves via Getty Images
