Wolves Rumours Mobile

21 Aug 2026 20:52:46
So are Wolves actually interested in Sterling and Zaha?

I know they want Cozier Duberry, so I can’t see the wanting or getting Zaha.

As much as I think Zaha would be worth a punt.

21 Aug 2026 16:16:51
As per Talking Wolves.
It is likely that #Wolves will replace Dan Bentley with a senior third choice player.

John Ruddy, currently a free agent, is reportedly under consideration for a return to Molineux.

21 Aug 2026 16:42:17
That will do me. Ruddy is a very good keeper to have as a back up, one who is also a good voice around the changing room.

21 Aug 2026 19:31:53
He is a good, sensible player to have in the squad.
Can be relied upon and set standards for younger keepers.

21 Aug 2026 14:21:47
Talking Wolves are saying Banacour Traore will be leaving with Racing Santandar and Portsmouth both interested.

21 Aug 2026 18:25:00
Good, he's absolutely useless. Never understood signing him, to be honest. We took him on loan; he looked absolutely bang average, so we still triggered the option to buy him?! More top transfer business from our recruitment team!

21 Aug 2026 18:40:39
He was one for the future.
£11 million bargain.

21 Aug 2026 10:23:34
Ellis Simms on loan.

Looking like Armstrong will be predominantly played across the front 3 and is seen as being very versatile.

If the deal is agreed we could see our pursuit for a winger halted (or atleast slowed down).

Cesar still wants a winger but it’ll be moved down the priority list.

A centre back is also high on the list with the club approaching Tondela for Medina.

We are in the process of a few sales which will take precedence.

Wolf.

21 Aug 2026 11:01:17
I have heard that Medina has a release clause of EUR50 million.

I hope we do sign a good attacking winger with some pace, as I do not rate Armstrong.

21 Aug 2026 11:19:33
Simms on loan is class if it happens.

I like Armstrong, but he needs someone to play off. Don't fancy him as a winger or a loan striker. Best to come on when we need a goal to play up top with Raul imo.

Who are the sales?

21 Aug 2026 12:18:01
Alex - Brayan Medina has a value of a maximum of £2.5m in the last three months, now £1.9m on Fotmob. 24 years of age, 180cm tall, stats are similar to Mosquera and Toti, slightly worryingly with 25 appearances in 2025/26, 8 yellows and 2 reds.

Still reckon we should look at Adam Webster.

21 Aug 2026 12:49:44
Personally don't rate Simms, but he's probably not the worst back up option there is. That might also partly be because of his contribution in that FA Cup game.

21 Aug 2026 13:56:17
Has to be a back up for Raul because he can't play any other position.

21 Aug 2026 14:36:50
I wonder if Bentley was a sweetener to make the Enis loan happen?

21 Aug 2026 14:37:43
Ellis, not Enis, silly autocorrect lol.

21 Aug 2026 14:52:00
Is anybody talking.

21 Aug 2026 15:12:32
Put on before Portsmouth. Interested in Traore also, Racing Santandar. Wolves want to sell, not loan. Or a loan with obligation to buy for at least the money they paid for him, or slightly less.

21 Aug 2026 12:56:13
Wolfoftheeast do you know if talks have already started with Bentley going there. And surely Wolves have to sign a RW before window shuts.

21 Aug 2026 16:10:21
DMac, Bentley is on Sky Sports wearing the Coventry shirt.

Traore hasn't fitted in, and if we get reasonable money for him, good luck with your next move.

21 Aug 2026 14:42:38
Ed is there something wrong with my posts that's 2 now and not ones been posted just wondering why.

{Ed033's Note - I think your posts have been posted.

21 Aug 2026 16:24:48
Thank you, yes, they have.

21 Aug 2026 16:27:32
Penkowolf, I meant did they inquire about Simms when Bentley was let go for free.

21 Aug 2026 17:21:21
I know I mentioned Simms earlier in the week, and found out that he could be available, as he is now surplus to requirements since Coventry's £120m splurge of transfer activity. Rangers were believed to have been interested 48 hours ago, but talk has gone quiet since.

I know we're light in the forward line, but is Simms what we're looking for? It will be interesting to see how Fer Lopez, Jordan James, and Matheus Mane all fit into the side, plus Rodrigo Gomes. We also need to reduce numbers, with very few takers.

21 Aug 2026 18:57:20
Can't see Simms joining - he's starting tonight.

20 Aug 2026 21:38:30
Coventry are signing Dan Bentley from Wolves on a free transfer to be their back-up goalkeeper.

The deal is expected to be confirmed tomorrow.

As per Talking Wolves.

20 Aug 2026 22:20:19
Same rumour is saying that this is happening because Sa is staying, which is interesting. Surely also means Johnstone is staying, as surely we still need a homegrown keeper?

21 Aug 2026 01:04:39
Tolu with another goal and assist for Ajax in limited minutes played. Hope he keeps doing well and we can sell him for a bunch later on.

21 Aug 2026 01:11:58
I believe they have a £17m option agreed, so it sadly won't impact the price. It will likely help convince them to take up said option, mind. 👍

21 Aug 2026 07:45:29
Sa to start, Bentley to leave.

Hopefully, Krejci and Hugo start too, with Toti and Wolfe leaving. Here's to hoping!

21 Aug 2026 09:35:22
Agreed, Gdawg, with those three starting we'd suddenly look half decent. Sadly, it depends on if the players are willing. It feels like their omission up till now is likely quite telling. 😕

21 Aug 2026 10:29:08
Coventry Observer now reporting Dan Bentley move, so it looks like that deal is going ahead.

21 Aug 2026 10:36:01
Why's he being allowed to leave on a free?

21 Aug 2026 10:52:58
We signed him on a free so can't exactly complain.

21 Aug 2026 10:54:05
Because it would be a nominal fee, and he's generally just not very good. Hopefully, Sa is staying and we bring in an up and coming keeper alongside Ruddy. I imagine Johnstone is off.

21 Aug 2026 11:20:32
Possibly, it's a free as a sweetener for Simms coming to us? Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.

21 Aug 2026 15:19:42
Great news. Bentley is awful. Sa is far, far superior anyway. Just need to sell Toti now. Please, please, please.

20 Aug 2026 17:16:35
Sergi Solans. 23-year-old Spanish striker based in USA. Never heard of him. Stats are not very good but Wolves have been eyeing him for a while. This is our level now.

20 Aug 2026 19:52:10
Is it 'our' level now, or is it just Wolves looking into certain markets? We've just signed the Young Champ POTS despite West Ham and Boro's interest; I'd call that a coup. I imagine we're looking in lots of markets.

20 Aug 2026 20:03:01
Depends how much we pay. This kid is 23, has scored 14 in 42 in the lower Spanish leagues, and 10 in 23 in the US. He might be worth a punt at a couple of million. I think he's been playing in the US due to college studies there.

20 Aug 2026 20:28:35
Our level is a pointless statement.

We should be setting our own standards.

The standards at Wolves should be to sign players that enable us to play 4-2-3-1. We need players with pace at CB and in the wide forward positions.

They should be able to play possession-based football, and press for certain parts of the game.

The players recruited should be able to develop in this system to play in the Premier League next year. So, a combination of experienced pros like Raul and Trippier.

But also exciting young players like JJ.

Wolves have wasted 3 months trying to convince themselves our CBs are Premier League quality. They are not at all. We need a GK, but we have not sold any of the three, and have not signed one.



And that Mane, Lopez and R Gomes, whilst talented, are going to become amazing young talents that walk the league. I have my reservations, as only R Gomes has pace, and the consistency of all three is doubtful. But I do support creating an environment for all three to develop.

We then have a divided fan base: those that loved Re aren't convinced by Cesar; those that believe our CBs are better than any other team's CBs in the league; and those that think we will somehow press for 90 mins, which no team does, by the way. Oh, not forgetting that we have some sort of jinx over us. You make your own luck.

Wolves have failed again with recruitment, and rested on their laurels.

20 Aug 2026 14:05:41
Maybe I'm not that bright but it is saying Athletico Madrid are interested in Hugo Bueno. At a price of 15mill, which in my opinion is very low, more like 30mill or over. But one suggestion is Wolves buy Harry Amass from Man U for 7mill to replace Bueno.

Bueno is 23, has played numerous games in the PL and is only worth double for a 19teen year old who's never played a first team game. Does not make any sense to me what so ever if Wolves sell for 15mill somebody needs sacked.

20 Aug 2026 17:13:41.
The whole transfer market is crazy. Just the other day, we saw Rodri, a World Cup-winning captain, player of the tournament, and recent Ballon d'Or winner, leave Man City, having won every trophy available, for £65m, only to be replaced by a highly rated but, as yet unproven, 18-year-old for £85m.

There appears to be no logic.

20 Aug 2026 17:14:39
Looks like he's definitely going. There are too many rumours for it to be bs. So long as Wolves bring in a proper replacement. There was a rumour a while ago that Hugo didn't want to play in the Championship.

20 Aug 2026 18:01:03
Well, maybe all of these players who don't fancy playing in the Championship should have put a bit more effort in last season.

20 Aug 2026 19:40:45
Rodri is a fantastic player, but he had one year left on his contract and made it clear he wasn't signing a new one, so in that context, £65m is actually a very healthy fee! I agree the market is crazy, but that's mostly in so much as clubs charging huge fees; every club bar Wolves, it would seem! 🙄

20 Aug 2026 10:47:12
Club confirmed Trippier has an MCL injury similar to Saids but less severe so out for 4-6 weeks. Yerson has ankle ligament damage but not as bad as first feared but out for at least 6 weeks.


Said responding well as is Bellegarde but both out for a few more weeks.
Johnstone is now considered fit after his shoulder op so maybe ready to move on now.

20 Aug 2026 18:09:26
Tks for info.

20 Aug 2026 01:03:29.
In response to the poster who asked about Trippier being injured.
Rumours are circulating he is out for 4 - 6 weeks.

20 Aug 2026 08:33:10
How did it happen?

20 Aug 2026 08:46:20
Presumably in the last game, which is why he came off and had his head in his hands, not because he was in despair over joining us after all.

Does make you question the training methods, with so many injuries so early in the season.

20 Aug 2026 09:01:34
That's Tchatchoua at rb for the foreseeable then. That's gonna be fun.

20 Aug 2026 09:55:35
He's got the pace, but the defence is awful. We need a replacement if Trippier is out.

20 Aug 2026 11:10:37
Pedro Lima and Tchatchoua will have to earn their stripes for the next few weeks then.

20 Aug 2026 11:36:29
I'm not sure, Goat, if he was watching the same game I was then, I think it was likely a bit of both. 😂

As for the injury, I'm afraid this is the problem with signing older players, who have always been quite injury prone. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good signing, but it's not enough to carry a team, which, at the time of writing, very much feels like that was the hope.

Also, as others have said, questions have to be asked. Two MCL injuries in two matches, at this rate we will run out of players by Easter. 😕

20 Aug 2026 12:33:17
All this will do is cement Toti Gomes' place in the starting 11.

If I was Matt Jackson and Peixoto, I would move heaven and earth, and try to convince Krejci and Santi to remain until January, and if it looks like we ain't going up, they can go with the club's blessing.



Is Lima good enough to cover Trippier? Is Jackson?

A couple of options would be Diogo Liete, who is a left footed CB, and Kevin Mbabu, who is a RB. Both free agents, but most importantly, both experienced players.

20 Aug 2026 12:57:14
I have a feeling it will be a late panic dive into free players and loan deals.

20 Aug 2026 13:27:57
R Gomes can play RB.

The lack of forwards is the biggest problem. They don't excite or trouble opposition defences for the past 18 months.

Jackson needs getting rid of.

Waste of 3 months and all the homegrown players we have missed out on.

Vitek, Alleyne, Philips, Lankshear, Devine etc etc etc.

19 Aug 2026 22:04:07
Jordan James is through the door at Wolves after completing his medical today - loan with an option to buy. Final deal is £1.5m loan fee with a £10m option.

19 Aug 2026 22:16:31
£10mil in total including the loan fee. Keen put up wrong post lol.
So, £1.5mil loan fee, then £8.5mil optional purchase.

19 Aug 2026 20:45:05
H Bueno to Atletico Madrid linked.

19 Aug 2026 22:04:30
Yes, he is, mate. Ipswich are looking at him too.

19 Aug 2026 22:15:46
Any idea on the fee?
As he is homegrown he will surely have to be replaced with another HG somewhere in the squad - or is that James?
Does anyone know if Trippier is out long term as well as some are saying on sites?
Gather Yerson is very long term - months not weeks?
Does anyone know if that is true?

19 Aug 2026 23:38:30
Trippier, I don't know, mate. Yerson looks like he's out for the season.
Fee on H. Bueno no idea, but thought to be north of £30million.

20 Aug 2026 00:04:28
Rated RKO, figures being banded around are circa £15m - Atletico Madrid. Hugo is one of two under consideration.

Harry Amass, 19-year-old from Man Utd, available for £7m, has been suggested as his replacement. Man Utd are looking to move him on due to a lack of opportunity at Old Trafford.

20 Aug 2026 03:07:42
Be disappointed if it's only £15million, mate, but it wouldn't surprise me either.
Amass is pretty decent, so wouldn't mind him as a replacement.

20 Aug 2026 07:35:55
Spend some extra cash and bring back Ait-Nouri.

20 Aug 2026 09:34:58
Atletico Madrid are preferring Jorge Salinas (Racing Santander) as the other candidate for the left-back position, so Hugo Bueno may not be leaving. Man Utd are said to be considering Salinas as well. £15m being talked about is ridiculous. We need to keep HB.

20 Aug 2026 11:27:25
Transfer feed reporting, if Hugo Bueno was to leave, Wolves would bid £7 million for Harry Amass.
