Wolverhampton Wanderers centre-back Willy Boly is now set to be out for three games with suspension.

According to a report in the Birmingham Mail, Wolverhampton Wanderers are highly likely to land a new centre-back very soon.

Wolves want to tighten up at the back, and their need for new additions was highlighted last night.

Willy Boly picked up a red card during Wolves’ match against Manchester City yesterday, and now faces a three-match ban.

Wolves’ options in the heart of their defence now look very short, with Nuno having limited choices to pick from.

However, Wolves are thought to be on the verge of bringing in a new centre-back, with a transfer rated as ‘highly likely’.

The identity of the incoming Wolves defender is not yet known, but it could be an addition which Nuno needs to get right.

Wolves have only just let Kortney Hause leave Molineux on loan, which has put pressure on them to bring in a centre-back this month.

Wolves are next in action at the weekend when they take on Leicester City.
