Wolverhampton Wanderers could offload a host of wingers this summer.

According to The Mirror, Wolverhampton Wanderers are planning to offload three wingers this summer; Ivan Cavaleiro, Helder Costa and Adama Traore.

Wolves beat Fulham 1-0 on Saturday afternoon, meaning they’re set to head into the Europa League qualifiers this summer barring a miraculous set of results in Leicester City’s favour.

Nuno Espirito Santo will now face a massive transfer window, as Wolves will need the depth to cope with a European campaign, just a year after leaving the Championship.

There are areas that need strengthening, but players may also leave – and The Mirror claim that wingers Cavaleiro, Costa and Traore are set to be offloaded.

The trio have lost out in Nuno’s decision to switch from a 3-4-3 to a 3-4-1-2, with Diogo Jota and Raul Jimenez as the front two and no room for wingers in the system.

Costa and Cavaleiro are believed to be surplus to requirements as Wolves chase another striker in Andre Silva, while Traore would be available to buy or loan just a year after arriving from Middlesbrough.

Cavaleiro cost Wolves £7million in 2016 (Sky Sports), Costa came in for £13million after a strong loan spell (BBC), before Wolves met Traore’s £18million release clause last summer.

That’s £38million of talent Wolves are allegedly prepared to flog, and Wolves may be expecting a profit on the trio after a season in the Premier League.
