Wolves told position they ‘need to fill’ amid player fallout
Wolves’ transfer business may not be over as manager Vitor Pereira faces a problem with one member of his squad.
Pereira’s side have lost both of their opening two Premier League matches so far, at home to Manchester City and away at Bournemouth.
Wolves are yet to score a goal, and there are fears Pereira could walk due to a lack of support in the transfer market.
Key players like Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri and Nelson Semedo have all left this summer and striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is a target for Newcastle.
Wolves face Andre saga
Pereira could face another problem in the transfer market following Wolves’ defeat at Bournemouth.
As per The Athletic, [24 August], there is now an issue with midfielder Andre who was left on the bench at the Vitality Stadium.
Pereira believes Jean-Ricner Bellegarde has been in “better condition” in training over the past two weeks and he urged Andre to “work and work hard.”
The decision seemed to not go down well with Andre, who went straight down the tunnel at the final whistle, and Pereira may have to pivot his transfer plans to sign another midfield player if tensions between the pair do not deescalate.

Football Insider Verdict
Pereira managed to turn around Wolves’ fortunes last season, and even at his early stage of the new season, it looks like the Portuguese manager will face another tough campaign at Molineux.
The Old Gold have not replaced the quality that has left the squad this summer, and Wolves could struggle for goals if Strand Larsen departs.
Offensively and defensively, Wolves have looked poor so far, with the sending off of Toti at Bournemouth not helping matters.

Andre’s unhappiness at not being selected from the start at Bournemouth is not a saga Pereira needs right now.
The 24-year-old was a key player in the middle of the park last season, but Pereira only needs members of his squad willing to fight for the club.
Pereira faces a decision over his future, which could prompt a hectic end to the transfer window, with other positions also in need of quality additions.
