Wolverhampton Wanderers will be keen to build on their strong top-seven finish from last season.
Wolves supporters on Twitter have expressed their worry at Nuno Espirito Santo’s comments because of their lack of spending during this summer transfer window.
Ahead of the new Premier League campaign, Nuno, 45, made it clear that Wolves ‘need to add players’ in order to ‘compete’ this season, as reported by the Telegraph.
That has left Wolves fans on edge and worried because they are fully aware that they need to add more depth to their squad, especially if they are going to compete in Europe.
Nuno’s side, who are currently in Asia for their pre-season preparations, will participate in a two-legged Europa League Second Round qualifying match at the end of this month, as they continue their long road to trying to reach the group stages.
If they do make it there then they’ll need a strong squad in order to play midweek European games, as well as weekend Premier League matches.
Two key players from their promotion campaign have departed. Helder Costa has joined Leeds and Ivan Cavaleiro has made the switch to Fulham, both season-long loan deals with a view of making it permanent.
There is still time left in this summer transfer window for the Midlands outfit to bring in some fresh faces, as Nuno, and no doubt the supporters, will be keen to get that done pretty quickly.
If they can do that then it’ll increase their chances of being best prepared for what will be a tough Premier League and European campaign.
