Wolverhampton Wanderers are almost there in their bid for Premier League survival, and Vitor Pereira now has a talented winger in his sights to bolster their forward line, per a report.
Wolverhampton Wanderers prepared to acquire summer reinforcements
In truth, Wolves have endured a frustrating campaign that hasn’t panned out as hoped, but the struggles of Ipswich Town, Leicester City and Southampton have them on the brink of retaining their Premier League status.
The Old Gold have earned their nine-point advantage since Pereira took over at Molineux. Losing one of their last four in the top flight has shown a resilience previously lacking under Gary O’Neil, albeit the Englishman did a respectable job before enduring an unfortunate downturn in form.
Either way, there is no appetite for a repeat of events come next season. Wolves are reportedly eyeing a move for Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens as they begin to kickstart a summer recruitment drive expected to yield changes.
Diogo Jota has been mentioned in connection with an emotional return to the Black Country, showing evidence that the forward line could be a key area for reinforcements to occur.
Manchester United are keen on Wolves talisman Matheus Cunha and the Brazil international is someone who may need replaced despite signing a contract extension earlier in the year. Nobody wants to lose star assets, though there is an awareness that he is destined for great heights following an excellent run of form in 2024/25.
| Wolves’ top goalscorers in 2024/25 – all competitions | |
| Matheus Cunha | 15 goals |
| Jorgen Strand Larsen | 9 goals |
| Goncalo Guedes | 5 goals |
| Rayan Ait-Nouri | 4 goals |
| Joao Gomes | 4 goals |
Now, the Old Gold appear to have turned their attention to a talent who has caught the attention of several clubs due to his exploits in one of Europe’s top-five leagues.
Wolverhampton Wanderers ready to strike for Deportivo star Yeremay
According to a report in Spain, Wolves are ready to activate Deportivo La Coruna attacker Yeremay Hernandez’s £27.6 million release clause during the summer window.
Brentford and Leicester City are also in the hunt for his signature after a return of 11 goals and four assists in 30 La Liga 2 appearances this campaign.
He could be their Lemina replacement…
Labelled “excellent” by Ben Mattinson, the Spain Under-21 international predominantly features off the left flank, though he is also capable of carrying out his duties on the opposite wing.
Hernandez is said to be happy at his current employers, but Deportivo’s financial status may hold the key to whether a summer transfer could materialise. Excelling in Spain’s second tier, the 22-year-old has created 43 chances and completed 108 dribbles on league duty.
Ultimately, Wolves need options that promote tactical variation and Hernandez’s ball-carrying, intuition and ability to find the back of the net would be a major asset.
Finalising survival will be the main priority for Pereira. Still, he looks to have done his homework on targets that could elevate his side to a new level.
