Many neutrals are fascinated to see how Wolves will cope with a return to the Premier League after dazzling in the Championship last season.

Nuno Esprito Santo’s side have a core group of players that look ready for the top flight and may only be a few quality additions away from potentially landing a top 10 finish.

They are trying to finalise a club-record deal for Manchester City ace Oleksandr Zinchenko for £16million, according to the Mirror.

The 21-year-old has filled in at left-back at Man City, but is a central midfielder by trade and could form a deadly combination alongside Ruben Neves at Molineux.

Wolves play very much a possession game and having two pass masters in the centre of the park will be a dream for Nuno,

Enforcer Romain Saiss could easily drop back into the three-man defence next season and allow central midfielder Zinchenko to play alongside Neves.

Wolves can make a real impact in the Premier League next season if they stick with their attacking style of play and Ukraine international Zinchenko could play a big part by controlling the tempo in the centre of the park.

Zinchenko will also offer a great balance given the fact he is left-footed and could be an extremely shrewd piece of business.
