Wolves are set to make quite a splash this summer if they seal promotion in the coming weeks.

Wolverhampton Wanderers fans will be foaming at the mouth as we approach the summer transfer window, as they look forward to what will likely be an extremely exciting period for the club.

In addition to their impending promotion to the Premier League, Wolves have also been linked with every player under the sun courtesy of their financial situation. While many of these links will just be rumours, it begs the question as to what the appropriate course of action should be for the board and Nuno Espirito Santo over the coming months.

Loan Issue

Over the course of this season, Wolves have loaned players out to other clubs on 36 separate occasions. That, quite frankly, is a ridiculous amount, and given the trajectory of where the club is heading with their spending, they need to cut their ties with a lot of these players.

The truly exceptional young talents will be brought back, but most of these guys can be sold on to lower league sides for a profit. As it stands, things are just too congested, and Wolves are quickly becoming the Chelsea of the Championship.

Lock Down Big Players

There is no feasible way to stress this enough – but Wolves desperately need to lock down their most important players for the 2018/19 campaign. The likes of Ruben Neves, Diogo Jota, Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa and many more are all integral to the success of their current setup and moving forward, they need to be a part of the process heading into the Premier League.

The likes of Manchester United and Chelsea will undoubtedly come calling in the coming months, and Wolves need to stay strong and find a way to keep the core of their side intact.

Practicality

There are going to be some fans who want nothing more than for Wolves to go out and buy some of the world’s best players, and because of their transfer dealings over the last twelve months, they will probably think that is possible.

Alas, what they fail to realise is that Wolves already have a great base for a Premier League squad, and they only need a handful of additions to really compete. This process needs to be a gradual one, because if Wolves upset the established order with too many high profile superstars, then it could cause the cohesion and chemistry of the team to drop.
