According to transfer expert Graeme Bailey, Wolverhampton Rangers are now showing interest in signing a “special” striker from a rival Premier League club this summer.
Wolves avoid falling and strengthen transfer plans
At one stage of the season, Wolves' Premier League status is indeed doubtful, but in Molineux's fate, the turnaround has been outstanding, winning the last five games in the spin, hitting 17 points from the bottom three.
So Vitor Pereira can now start planning for summer plans as his team will be on top flight next season and may need to strengthen the offensive zone given that Matheus Cunha may be on the verge of joining Manchester United.
Earlier this month, San Francisco was linked to the move by FC Twente to attack midfielder Sem Steijn, who performed well this season with the Dutch scoring 23 goals in Eredivisie.

Will this be a blow to Vitor Pereira?
Steijn's exploitation in the Netherlands shows that he could take some way to replace Cunha's goal, but may have some concerns about his lack of experience in major European alliances.
According to Bailey, in a report in the training room, Wolves can now sign a striker with a lot of experience at the top, Chelsea's Joao Felix, who was told he could talk to the club this summer.
Blues think Felix is considered surplus, which could be a move to Molineux, with the old gold medal showing interest in loan relocation, although there may be a signature competition from Premier League rival West Ham United.
The Portuguese international arrived at Stamford Bridge for £45m, but it is unclear how much permanent departure Chelsea hopes to get.
“Special” Felix can reignite careers in Molineux
The 25-year-old was having a difficult sport in 2024-25, and he was loaned to AC Milan, where he failed to name himself, failed to score and earned an assist in Serie A.
However, previous loopholes in the Portuguese striker showed that he could reignite his career in Molineux, with seven goals and three assists last season at Barcelona in La Liga.
The former Barcelona man, also praised as a “special” player by former teammate Alvaro Morata, has extensive experience at the highest level and is sometimes impressed in spells with Atlético Madrid and Chelsea.
While the move to Chelsea has not been resolved yet, Felix showed enough promising signs that he could be an exciting addition to Wolf, and if he had a loan deal, the striker would be a low-risk signing.
