AdminWolves are bracing for life back in the Championship after a calamitous Premier League campaign, which looks set to see the Old Gold relegated with plenty of matches still to play.
The West Midlands outfit endured a dreadful start under Vitor Pereira, and although the return of former player and coach Rob Edwards from Middlesbrough in November offered a glimmer of hope, the writing has long been on the wall.
Wolves have won just once in 26 games, amassing a mere nine points, leaving them 18 adrift of 17th-placed Nottingham Forest with 12 fixtures remaining.
Preparations for a second-tier return are already under way. Edwards’ appointment and the recent deadline-day signing of Southampton striker Adam Armstrong underline Wolves’ intent to bounce straight back.
Football League World can exclusively reveal that Wolves are eyeing a marquee summer signing in Championship rival Leicester City’s Abdul Fatawu. Sources confirm the 21-year-old winger is under constant observation, with Wolves keen to build a squad capable of immediate promotion.
Fatawu has been a rare bright spark in an otherwise struggling Foxes side, netting eight goals and providing seven assists in 32 appearances. Having impressed during Leicester’s Championship title-winning campaign and recovered from an ACL injury, the ex-Sporting CP talent appears set for a summer exit.
“Whether Wolves will have the financial might or even the pulling power to complete a deal considering their Championship-bound status only remains to be seen,” but interest from the Old Gold signals their ambition ahead of next term—and casts fresh doubt on Fatawu’s future at King Power Stadium.
