Reports have claimed that Premier League outfit Wolverhampton Wanderers could sell Dominic Iorfa in the January transfer window.
Wolverhampton Wanderers success under Nuno Espirito Santo has been built upon a solid defence.
The Black Country giants kept 24 clean sheets en route to the Championship title last season and the back three of Ryan Bennett, Willy Boly and Connor Coady looked steady in their early weeks in the Premier League too.
But there has been a few hints of fragility during a run of three straight defeats. Against both Watford and Tottenham Hotspur, Wolves conceded quickfire goals that made their chances of a positive result very unlikely.
Though the fact that Nuno seems determined to stick with what he knows, and has continued to leave Dominic Iorfa out of his plans, makes it clear that the long-serving centre-back needs to leave Molinuex if he’s to play first-team football.
Iorfa hasn’t been included in a single Premier League squad this season and was nowhere to be seen again as Spurs won 3-2 in the Black Country last Saturday.
The 23-year-old has spent his entire career with Wolves and the Birmingham Mail reported in October that the club are now planning to sell Iorfa in January with Nuno deciding to ‘cast aside’ the England U21 international.
If Iorfa had any hope of re-igniting his Wolves career, he would surely have at least been given a place on the bench with Nuno’s back-line looking a little shaky in the last few weeks.
