Wolverhampton Wanderers are currently in 19th place in the Championship table.

Wolverhampton Wanderers boss Paul Lambert has hinted in the Express and Star that he will look towards youth rather than experience in the summer transfer window.

Wolves are expected to invest heavily in their squad again after this season finishes, as they build for a promotion push.

Wolves had wanted to push for the top six this term, but their play off chances appear all but over.

Lambert’s side are currently stuck in 19th place in the Championship table – just five points above the drop zone.

And Lambert has suggested that he wants to add more youthful exuberance to his team.

“It’s important everybody thinks the same and the values are the same and they get into my way of thinking. I’ve got values at the club that I want to see, with everyone respecting it, with discipline,” the former Norwich City and Aston Villa boss said.

“They have to be energetic, enthusiastic for the game and have tempo and intensity. We have to have the criteria for that kind of player, while I’m here. And a really important character to fit into the group.

“There’s no point me signing somebody aged 37 who can’t press the game and doesn’t fit the criteria.”

Wolves have shown flashes of quality since Lambert took charge, but they have lacked the consistency required to push up the Championship standings.

Wolves are next in action on Friday evening, when they take on Birmingham City.
