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.
