Wolves are approaching the January transfer window with intent as the Old Gold continue to battle near the relegation zone.
Vitor Pereira’s unbeaten start as Wolves manager came to an end on week 20 of the Premier League season, sending the squad back towards the bottom three.
Now level on points with 18th-place Ipswich Town, pressure is on the Old Gold to revive their form, which could be helped by the January transfer window.
Pereira made his transfer wishes clear, in what is expected to be a critical month for the Midlands club.
Wolves transfer news: Updates on Gerson and Vitor Reis links
The Old Gold haven’t wasted any time getting started in the transfer window, with Wolves to welcome Emmanuel Agbadou in the coming days.
The Ivorian defender isn’t the only player said to be on the club’s radar, as Wolves have been linked to Chelsea’s Renato Veiga.
It’s clear that the defence is an area that Pereira is targeting to improve, with a fresh link now coming to light.
Sources close to Molineux News have confirmed that Wolves have interest in Brazilian centre-back Vitor Reis, who currently represents Palmeiras.
The 18-year-old is in demand, as The Athletic noted Real Madrid, Arsenal and Brighton’s interest in the highly-rated teen.
Competition for his transfer has Wolves’ hierarchy feeling pessimistic about a possible deal, realising that it will be a particularly difficult transfer to pull off at this time.
Reis isn’t the only player that sources provided an update on, as Wolves have been linked to Flamengo midfielder Gerson.
Gerson could replace Mario Lemina if the midfielder leaves Wolves this month however, it appears that links to the Brazilian are purely speculative at this moment.
Sources close to Molineux News reveal that the Old Gold have ‘denied any interest’ in the 27-year-old.
Change expected at Wolves before the January window shuts
While Wolves aren’t actively looking at Gerson, that doesn’t mean that the Old Gold won’t seek a new midfielder before the end of the month.
Wolves and Lemina agree a transfer is the best solution amid interest from Saudi Arabia, which could prompt Pereira to explore the midfield market.
Gerson may not be the man although, there’s another player in sight, with Richard Rios linked to Wolves as a possible replacement for the Gabon international.
It’s been a rapid start to the market for Wolves, who are eager to right the wrongs from the summer promptly.
Wolves recently announced their first January signing — defender Emmanuel Agbadou.
Vitor Pereira has wanted to make defensive signings following a mini-injury crisis to his backline, and the Wolves owners have backed their manager.
Wolves confirmed Agbadou has joined from Stade Reims on a four-and-a-half year deal, and more transfers are expected.
Wolves are also linked with Chelsea’s Renato Viega — a player who, if signed, could force Toti Gomes down the side’s pecking order.
Clearly determined to build from the back, Pereira knows the importance of having a solid defence, especially in England’s notoriously fast paced and high-quality Premier League.
Vitor Pereira sends Emmanuel Agbadou tactical warning
Welcoming Ivory Coast’s Agbadou to the club Pereira was captured showing his new signing around Molineux.
After praising the stadium’s ‘very good atmosphere’, the Wolves manager warned the African what to expect from England’s top-flight.
“You don’t have 30 seconds to stop, you understand?” Pereira said.
“You must be connected everytime. Everytime, connected. Because in a few seconds, they [opposition teams] can put in a long ball and they’ll score. If you sleep for five minutes, they will score two goals, you understand? — This is the kind of league that they have too much quality in attack that they can score very easily.

A fascinating insight into Pereira’s tactical philosophy and the early impression the Premier League has left on him, and perhaps proving why he wanted to sign a player with Agbadou’s technical attributes.
Agbadou set for Newcastle United test
Although Agbadou could make his debut against Bristol City in the FA Cup on Saturday, the African is expected to make his first appearance in the Premier League away to Newcastle United on Wednesday 15th January.
Should Pereira start the commanding 27-year-old against Eddie Howe’s Magpies next week, initial tests won’t come much harder.
The Geordies are in excellent form, and Agbadou, along with the returning Craig Dawson, will need to be at their best if they’re to stop Howe’s side from taking all three points.
