Wolves targeting move for “sensational” PL ace

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ strong start under Vitor Pereira could be the catalyst for a promising 2025/26 campaign.

If they can secure a couple of high-profile signings in the summer transfer window while also keeping some of their key players, a top-half finish isn’t out of the question.

Much will depend on just exactly how much cash the Portuguese manager will have to spend, however.

Could the Old Gold be ready to raid a fellow Premier League team for one of their players this summer?

Wolves ready to raid Premier League rival

The Molinuex outfit will be aiming to bolster their squad this summer, and it looks as though they have already targeted a midfielder playing for Chelsea.

Journalist Ben Jacobs was speaking to the Wolfpack Podcast about potential targets, mentioning that Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall could be of interest.

“I think Wolves and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall is going to be one to watch, from what I understand,” said Jacobs about the Englishman.

“Because Chelsea may be willing to sanction a sale. Dewsbury-Hall may be looking for regular game time, with a view to somehow kind of forcing himself into the England setup. Wolves could be one to watch there. I’m not aware yet of any significant out-and-out attackers who Wolves are specifically looking at.”

Despite an underwhelming season at Stamford Bridge, Dewsbury-Hall could be an excellent signing for Wolves. Especially for Jorgen Strand Larsen.

Why Wolves must sign Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

Strand Larsen has emerged as one of Wolves’ key players of late, scoring six goals in his previous six Premier League matches.

Overall, the Norwegian striker has netted 13 times while grabbing three assists, starring under Pereira’s management.

He will join the club on a permanent deal this summer and will lead the line for Wolves heading into next season. Could his output increase by having someone like Dewsbury-Hall operating behind him?

Lauded by his former manager at Leicester City, Brendan Rodgers, for being “sensational”, it was his time at the Foxes where the playmaker began to showcase his talents.

His spell in the Championship during the 2023/24 campaign saw the Englishman shine for the club across a range of attacking metrics.

Indeed, he created 20 big chances, averaged 2.5 key passes and succeeded with 1.3 dribbles per game. Furthermore, the midfielder also registered 26 goal contributions of his own – 12 goals and 14 assists – to help seal the club’s return to the top flight.

His spell at Chelsea may not have gone as expected, with the player starting just 17 games this season, primarily in the Conference League., although his Leicester heroics showcased the creative output that he can supply to the likes of Strand Larsen.

Equally, even amid his west London woes, the £30m signing has still managed to net three goals and chip in with three assists for the Blues, but it is clear that he needs a fresh challenge next term.

Wolves would be the ideal destination for the midfielder, who still has plenty of time left at his peak to make an impact at Molineux; that much is certain.
