Going into what could be a rigorous 2019/20 campaign for Wolves they will need more depth. It's something that's no secret, especially given some of the tired performances we saw from them following their FA Cup semi-final defeat.

Although Nuno Santo's men were then able to rally, there were some individual performances that hadn't reached the levels we saw earlier in the season.

Next term, the Midlands club will have the Europa League to deal with and as a result they'll need a bigger squad, particularly if they come through the qualifying rounds.

At the moment they're particularly thin on the ground for quality in the attacking third of the pitch and reinforcements will be needed.

On the chalkboard

Last weekend, The Evening Standard reported that Wolves had an interest in Arsenal forward Danny Welbeck. The 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and therefore available on a free transfer.

If they were to continue to pursue the England international it would be a smart signing for a club like Wolves.

And given his performances in the Europa League this season, he could help them thrive on the continental stage.

Welbeck's displays are never too convincing but he's a big game player, something Wolves aren't lacking. Before suffering a horrific broken ankle against Sporting Lisbon he was in very promising form.

Playing mainly as a striker in Europe throughout the early parts of 2018/19, he averaged 2.5 shots per game. That's a record this season only bettered by Raul Jimenez from a Wolves perspective who had 2.9 shots per match in the Premier League.

As such, he could be the perfect player to help share the workload from an attacking point of view.

Welbeck is a phenomenally hard worker and his two goals in the four games he played in the competition before injury showed he's more than capable of providing able back-up. He'd also perfectly fit the counter-attacking style Wolves play with.

We've found Raul Jimenez's No. 1 fan and... it's a little scary. Check out the video below to see for yourself...

Capped 42 times by England, he started the season by scoring five goals in his first ten matches in all competitions.

Wolves fans may need convincing that he's the right option but should contact be made with the attacker, there would be few better options to help tackle the task of the Europa League.
