Football Season Guide

A crisis that saw Julen Lopetegui leave last August and the departures of key players Ruben Neves, Matheus Nunes and Nathan Collins, led many to believe that Wolves will get relegated at the end of the 2023/24 campaign. However, Gary O’Neil did a very good job in his first season at the club, easily keeping them in the division. There’s been no big signings made by Wolves so far this summer and the club is not expected to go on a spending spree ahead of next season. Relatively unknown players have arrived, but Wolves have proved that their scouting team have a keen eye for detail and know how to spot talented players. Pedro Neto has joined Chelsea and Wolves are expected to find a replacement. Meanwhile, O’Neil has earned the opportunity to work for a full preseason with the team. Wolves may need to further strengthen their squad, while Max Kilman’s departure might be a blow if they don’t sign a solid replacement for the defence. O’Neil’s counter-attacking football has got the best out of Matheus Cunha and Hwang Hee-chan. Despite Neto's departure, Wolves’ attacking line could be their main strength again this season should they sign a solid replacement. Meanwhile, the 65 goals they conceded was the fifth-worst tally in the Premier League. Defence could be their main weakness again should they not beef it up in the summer.
