Wolverhampton Wanderers have made a strong start to the 2023/24 campaign, with just two points between Gary O'Neil's side and the Premier League top half. The Old Gold are in 13th place as it stands and it could've been even better if it wasn't for multiple controversial VAR mishaps.
Wolves, who are 10 points away from the relegation zone, are likely to change their seasonal targets from surviving the drop to achieving a strong, mid-table finish. To do that, O'Neil and technical director Matt Hobbs may decide to make a few new additions to bolster the squad.
With around three weeks until the start of the January window, rumours are already rife. Wanderers have been linked with a whole host of potential signings, while departures also look likely.
Having taken a look at the latest transfer news, Birmingham World has put together a potential new Wolves starting lineup and substitutes bench for the end of January onwards. Here's a full run-through.
1. GK: Aaron Ramsdale (in from Arsenal)
The Daily Star reports Wolves are keen on signing Ramsdale on loan with an option-to-buy from Arsenal if Jose Sa is sold. Wanderers’ current goalkeeper has been heavily linked with a £40 million move to Saudi Arabia.
2. CB: Max Kilman
Wolves’ skipper is very unlikely to leave this winter after signing a new long-term contract in the summer.
3. CB: Craig Dawson
Now settled and closer to home like he wished, Dawson could well end his career with Wolves.
4. CB: Toti Gomes
Toti was a fringe player last term but has become a key man this season, utilised in an array of defensive roles.
