Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo has a lot of work to do at Molineux this summer, if he is to build a squad of players who are capable of enjoying a successful campaign upon their return to the Premier League next term.

One particular area where the Portuguese will want to bolster is the left hand side of his defence, with more competition for Barry Douglas required.

With this in mind, Wolves should consider poaching Kieran Gibbs from their Black Country rivals West Brom, with the Mirror claiming that he could be sold this summer.

The 28-year-old joined the Baggies from Arsenal in the summer of 2017, for a fee believed to be worth in the region of £7 million, but he has endured a difficult campaign at the Hawthorns this season.

He still has a lot to offer at the very highest level, though, and his pace and energy would certainly bring a lot to the Wolves side.

Gibbs is also extremely experienced in playing in the Premier League, having spent 11 years with the Gunners, and that could prove to be invaluable to Wolves next season.

The 10-capped capped England international is an able defender, but he has also proven himself to be a useful asset in the final third, and that would make him the ideal fit for Wolves’ left wing-back role.

If Nuno does in fact manage to bring him to Molineux this summer, it could turn out to be shrewd business for Wolves.
