Sky Sports: Wolves to Hold Transfer Talks This Week After Pereira Sack Decision

Wolves will hold January transfer talks to bolster Vitor Pereira’s faltering squad; short-term punters should avoid backing them to win and consider draw or draw/no-bet markets, while long-term bettors may see value on Wolves’ survival odds if meaningful January signings arrive.

Wolves to convene January transfer talks as pressure mounts

Wolves will hold talks this week to evaluate potential reinforcements ahead of the January window as the club searches for ways to back manager Vitor Pereira amid a poor start to the season. The discussions will cover which positions need strengthening, available funds and possible targets to improve a squad struggling for results.

Board remains backing Pereira despite alarming form

Despite a run of only two points from a possible 21 and the club sitting bottom after seven league fixtures, the Wolves board continue to back Pereira and regard him highly. The manager was rewarded with a new three-year deal last month, extending his commitment beyond the previous contract term.

Recent results and form snapshot

Internally, recent draws against Tottenham and Brighton plus an EFL Cup third-round win over Everton are viewed as small signs of progress, but the broader picture is worrying. Pereira’s side have not won in the Premier League since 26 April and their winless sequence now spans 11 matches across two campaigns.

Squad turnover: summer departures and new arrivals

Wolves lost key contributors in the summer transfer window, most notably Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri, while adding several names including David Moller Wolfe, Jackson Tchatchoua, Ladislav Krejci, Fer Lopez, Jhon Arias and Tolu Arokodare. The January talks will assess whether those incoming pieces are enough or if further investment is required.

What the January window could change

The January meeting aims to identify priority areas for recruitment and set budgets. Fresh signings could materially alter Wolves’ trajectory in the relegation battle, but immediate improvement is not guaranteed, meaning the club may pursue short-term loan options as well as permanent deals.

Relegation stakes and strategic outlook

Wolves narrowly escaped relegation last season after a late surge, but the current start leaves them vulnerable. The board’s decision-making in January—how aggressively they spend and the profile of recruits—will be pivotal in determining whether the club stabilises or slips deeper into the relegation scrap.

Implications for upcoming fixtures and betting markets

Given the present form, Wolves are unlikely to be reliable short-term picks for match winners; markets such as draw, draw/no-bet and under 2.5 goals may present safer options until reinforcements arrive. Should the club complete significant signings in January, relegation odds could shorten and long-term survival bets might gain value.

Next steps

Wolves will assess squad gaps, financial parameters and target lists during this week’s discussions and are expected to act in January if the board agrees to back the manager with recruitment. The tone from the hierarchy suggests patience with Pereira, but decisive transfer activity will be watched closely by fans and analysts alike.

Wolves are reportedly exploring ways to support manager Vitor Pereira.
