Helder Costa

After winning many plaudits at Molineux this season for his mazy runs and skill, Wolves fans were delighted to see Portuguese forward Helder Costa sign permanently for the club, in a deal believed to be worth up to £13 million, according to reports from the BBC. After a few years of stagnating in the Championship, Wolves fans are delighted to see the club seriously investing in their future; though the lingering influence of super-agent Jorge Mendes has some fans feeling cautious.

Aaron Mooy

After recent reports suggested Manchester City have rejected a bid from an unnamed Championship club for on-loan Huddersfield Town midfielder, Aaron Mooy, Wolves fans are wondering this morning whether they might well be the club who are trying to recruit the Australian. The creative midfielder, who has been pivotal to Huddersfield’s excellent start to the season, could be just what Wolves need to start rocketing up the table.

Grant Hanley

Wolves fans are also abuzz with the possibility of bringing in Newcastle United defender, Grant Hanley. The Scottish centre-half, who only signed for the Magpies in the summer, has struggled for first team football and HITC Sport understands he may well be allowed to leave the club before the window closes tonight.

Ben Marshall

Wolves fans are also keeping an eye on developments over a move for Blackburn Rovers winger, Ben Marshall. Wolverhampton Wanderers had been linked with a £1 million move for Marshall by The Sun, as Paul Lambert looks to improve the club in the wide areas. However, could the big money signing of Costa affect this?

A Positive Feeling

After spending a couple of years in doom and gloom, Wolves fans are delighted to see the club finally looking like taking positive steps towards getting themselves back in the Premier League. Despite a poor start under Walter Zenga, new boss Paul Lambert finally seems to have gotten Wolverhampton Wanderers playing, and moves for players like Costa show that the board are backing him in the market. This, combined with a positive change to the club’s ticketing strategy and making it to the fifth round of the FA Cup, suggests Wolves are in a good place, and their fans are feeling the positive vibes.
