Wolves have every right to feel bitterly disappointed after the 2019/20 season as a late drop in form cost them a place in the Europa League.

The Midlands outfit will once again have their eyes on continental qualification this season, but there is a feeling that in order to get to that next level, they need to improve in some vital areas.

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side was looking rather threadbare this summer after Matt Doherty left for Tottenham and Jonny Otto’s ACL injury put him out for the foreseeable future.

Fortunately, Jeff Shi has brokered a number of deals to bring in some exciting players at Molineux, and we’ve ranked Wolves’ incoming transfers so far...

Marcal 4/5

What a piece of business this could prove to be.

Wing-backs are vitally important in Nuno’s system, and with Jonny out injured, Wolves were left with the inexperienced Ruben Vinagre as their only option on the left side.

Fortunately, they’ve been able to find a top-quality option in that position, and he was something of a bargain as well.

£2m for a full-back with Champions League experience will never be considered a bad signing, and he will alleviate a lot of the pressure that Vinagre may have been feeling after Jonny went down with an ACL last month.

Fabio Silva 3/5

If any other club were making this signing you’d laugh at them, but with Wolves getting these types of deals right so often over the past few years, it’s hard to completely disregard the idea that Silva could be a success.

We’re not going to pretend that £35m for an 18-year-old striker with just one league goal to his name represents incredible value because it looks atrocious when you put it like that, but he’s highly rated, and with Wolves building an exciting young roster, this signing could be one that takes a few years to pay off.

Vitinha 3/5

A young midfielder who has starred at Porto making a move to Wolves, where have we heard that one before?

Vitinha isn’t quite at the level Ruben Neves was when he arrived at Molineux, but this could be yet another example of Wolves’ links to Portugal paying dividends.

The 20-year-old looks like another youngster with a high ceiling, winning the breakthrough player award at the 2019 Toulon Tournament and playing a handful of games for Porto’s first-team.

This is a relatively low-risk signing on loan, but if he comes in and does well, Wolves’ option to buy him at the end of the season could look like a very wise move to make.
