Wolverhampton Wanderers have made a decent start to the 2023/24 season, gaining eight points from eight Premier League matches so far.
In 14th place and just four points away from the top half, Gary O’Neil’s side will be hoping to build on a surprise 2-1 win over Manchester City and a hard-fought 1-1 draw with local rivals Aston Villa.
The October international break has given fans the chance to reflect on the beginning of the campaign. There’s also been time to ponder the players who’ve impressed the most and least.
Although a point per game is traditionally enough to survive relegation, Wolves may want to improve in the January transfer window. There are also players gaining interest and those with reduced minutes.
With that in mind, here are six individuals who are likely to depart this winter as well as three who theoretically could go but we believe will definitely stay.
1. Pedro Neto - could leave
Wolves are adamant they want to keep hold of their star winger but a record fee could pry him away. Arsenal, Liverpool and Aston Villa all have a serious interest after one goal and five assists so far in 2023/24.
2. Fabio Silva - could leave
The young Portuguese forward has been given the odd opportunity at the start of the season but he’s not been anywhere near clinical enough to gain consistent game time. Departing in the summer was considered but didn’t come into fruition. It could be a different story this winter.
3. Joe Hodge - could leave
Could play in the FA Cup this term but is unlikely to feature in the premier League. At 21 years of age, it could make sense for Hodge to earn his first loan move in January. The Championship - or League One - would likely suit his skillset well.
4. Pablo Sarabia - could leave
The former Paris Saint-Germain and Sevilla man arrived expecting to be a key player but has been far from it, resorted to the bench for most matches. If things don’t improve soon, Sarabia could request a winter transfer.
