Wolves duelling Nuno Espirito Santo for ‘elite’ midfielder who Goncalo Guedes is familiar with..
Vitor Pereira is looking to make reinforcements to his engine room at Wolves as he prepares to bolster that position.
Andre and Joao Gomes have blossomed into a wonderful partnership in the middle of the park, but depth is an issue heading into the 2025/26 season.

With Tommy Doyle closing in on a loan move to Birmingham City and Boubacar Traore facing an uncertain future, at least one midfielder is required.
Vitor Pereira is letting Doyle leave as he isn’t physical enough to play in his system; meanwhile, Traore has never been a prominent figure at Wolves, even before his injury last August.
So, with an opportunity for someone to challenge Andre and Gomes in the engine, Pereira may have found the perfect candidate.

Bianchin claims that the Premier League is the ‘most likely’ destination for Musah, and Milan are willing to let him leave for £20 million – £25 million.
A box-to-box midfielder, Musah played a prominent role for the Italian side last term with 40 appearances in all competitions and three assists.

The 22-year-old is also a prominent figure for the USMNT, having already recorded 40 caps for his country despite his young age.

Mauricio Pochettino previously praised Musah after shutting down Vinicius Jr during Milan’s 3-1 victory over Real Madrid in November.
That was one of seven appearances the Arsenal academy graduate made in the Champions League, with former manager Nuno Espirito Santo now battling Wolves to capture him.

Musah played with Goncalo Guedes at Valencia
Musah was lauded as an ‘elite’ midfielder by talent scout Jacek Kulig after his impressive performances at the 2022 World Cup.

Aged just 20 at the time, the youngster impressed with his dynamism, athleticism and ball-carrying abilities as the USMNT reached the knockout stages of the competition.
Pereira would love to have Musah in his ranks, as the Milan star is also capable on the right side of midfield, potentially being someone who can play in a right wing-back role.
Musah’s arrival would also be endorsed by forward Goncalo Guedes, who played with the Portuguese star during his time at Valencia between 2020 to 2023.
The pair shared a pitch 48 times together and built a connection on the pitch, which could return to Molineux.
