After one season at Molineux, Wolverhampton Wanderers fans might have seen the last of Roderick Miranda, who is reportedly heading to Greece.

Even Wolverhampton Wanderers do not get it right 100 per cent of the time.

They stormed to the Championship title last season after bringing in Ruben Neves, Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa, John Ruddy and co over the last few transfer windows. But one player who could not be called a roaring success at Molineux is Roderick Miranda.

A £2.5 million signing from Nuno Espirito Santo’s former club Rio Ave last summer, Miranda seemed to struggle with the physicality of English football, particularly when coming up against QPR’s man-mountain centre-forward Matt Smith in a 2-1 defeat in October.

Miranda played just four league games after being bullied by the former Oldham Athletic man at Loftus Road.

And the Express and Star is reporting that the 27-year-old now appears to be on his way out. Miranda is set to join Olympiakos on a season-long loan after leaving Wolves’ pre-season training camp in Switzerland to finalise the deal in Greece.

This appears to be a sensible decision. Wolves already have Connor Coady, Willy Boly, Ryan Bennett, Kortney Hause and Danny Batth vying for a place in the starting XI while the Premier League newcomers have been linked with some new centre-back signings as well.
