Arsenal are refusing to give up on signing Wolves ' goalkeeper Dan Bentley.
Arsenal are still chasing another goalkeeper, having seen a £50,000 bid for Wolves back-up Bentley rejected. The 31-year-old has one year left on his contract and the Gunners have reportedly lodged a second offer worth in the region of £300,000 for his signature. Wolves are understood to want closer to £1m.
BirminghamLive says: Wolves won't be handing Bentley the number one shirt anytime soon, Bentley only managed three Premier League appearances last season. However, good back-up keepers are worth their weight in gold and there's no reason why they should push one of the game's bigger players for a bit more money.
Show me the money!
Spurs are the latest team being linked with a move for flying winger Pedro Neto.
Injury hit Neto is a clear talent and one that all Premier League teams are aware of, with some very keen on spending big to land the Portuguese.
His injury record has put some off with Wolves wanting top tier money for a player they see as an elite performer in waiting.
The website Football Transfers, claimes that Spurs technical director Johan Lange, has ‘initiated discussions’ with Wolves about a potential deal.
Neto, 24, is contracted to Wolves until June 2027 with the Midlands club under no pressure to sell, despite concerns over FFP in recent seasons.
BirminghamLive says: We love watching Neto fly down the wing on the counter attack for Wolves. He's the player post Adama Traore that gets bums off seats and ensures quality every time he has the ball.
His injuries mean he is always a risk and always uncertain in terms of reliability, but there is nothing to suggest that those injuries are not in the past.
What Wolves fans don't want is him going on the cheap, why can't the club demand top money for a player that so many teams clearly want in their own side.
Neto is a £50m+ players and there isn't any team who should even be picking up the phone to start talks unless they thing that is a reasonable starting point.
Wolves don't want to sell Neto, but you would have to say that with that kind of money on the table, they would certainly be interested. The message to Arsenal, NManchester United and Tottenham is to get serious with your spending, otherwise leave the player settled where he is.
A crying Che-me
One player who won't be heading for Molineux is free agent, Che Adams.
The striker has been a target for Gary O'Neil and the Wolves hierarchy but now it seems his future lies outside the Premier League after all.
Fabrizio Romano wrote on X: “Torino are closing in on deal to sign Che Adams as free agent, talks at final stages now. Che Adams has approved project presented by Torino and final details are being sorted.
“He’s set for first experience in Serie A, as @iljackmora has reported.”
BirminghamLive says: This is a deal that made a lot of sense for Wolves on paper and for where they are as a club at the moment. He would have been perfect on a free transfer and would have given the club that extra layer in terms of competition for places.
With such a minimal financial risk and outlay involved, it's puzzling that Wolves weren't able to get a deal over the line or be interesting enough for Adams to see Molineux as a viable destination.
