Wolves are set to sign Rafa Mir and Robbie Keane.
Wolves have already wrapped up a move for Rafa Mir and are looking to sign Robbie Keane [via The Mirror].
It’s an impressive double transfer swoop from the Championship leaders, but not quite the show of force you may imagine.
During the summer Wolves spent big money to sign Ruben Neves from Porto, following up recent expensive acquisitions of Helder Costa and Ivan Cavaleiro.
This is not Wolves relying on loans either – but instead using a combination of elite contacts and smart strategy.
Wolves are demonstrating that they are more than simply a club who have stumbled into some money, they have more to offer.
Rafa Mir is not proven, but he is an exciting prospect, having netted 15 goals from 19 games for Valencia’s B team this season.
There was a reason Tottenham and Real Madrid both wanted him, and Wolves are fortunate to have the young striker on board as they plot a course for future success.
Robbie Keane too has more to offer than simply being a PR stunt. The striker began his career at Wolves and could make an emotional return, but his experience in England and the world game will be vital for a team who could still yet stumble down the stretch.
Wolves appear destined to win promotion, and are making some savvy moves to assure it. Whether out of desire to comply with financial fair play or not, their latest plans are showing brains rather than brawn.
