Wolves' Transfer Plans in Jeopardy After Matt Jackson's Comments

Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are fearing the worst after technical director Matt Jackson's comments suggested a lack of transfer activity this summer. The club's rebuild plans are in jeopardy after the sale of Joao Gomes to Aston Villa.

What Happened?

The Old Gold made their first major sale of the summer on Monday as Joao Gomes made the move to Aston Villa. The midfielder is set to leave a big hole at Molineux, but many supporters would like to see more players leave after their disastrous Premier League campaign last season.

Why It Matters for Wolverhampton Wanderers

However, this seems more and more unlikely by the day, especially after technical director Matt Jackson stated he “liked the shape” of Wolves at the minute after Gomes’ sale. As it stands, the Old Gold side has only brought in three players this summer, with two coming before Cesar Peixoto was even appointed.

What Comes Next?

Wolves had been expected to win promotion by the fanbase this season, but there is now a growing fear that this won’t happen. The club were essentially relegated in November after a horrific showing in the Premier League throughout the 2025-26 campaign. Therefore, this summer, there was a hope that many players in the squad would be moved on, ready for their return to the Championship.

Who Else is Expected to Leave Wolves this Summer?

While Wolves fans may not see the summer rebuild that they have hoped for, it appears that Tolu Arokodare will be sold in the coming weeks. The striker was awful in his debut season at Molineux as he netted just six times in all competitions. As a result, Wolves are keen to offload the Nigeria international, who is clearly not up to standard. Fiorentina and Trabzonspor have both reportedly been eyeing the striker, and a deal could soon be struck before the transfer window comes to a conclusion.

Conclusion

It remains to be seen if Wolves will ever be able to recoup their £23.4million fee for the flop after his transfer from Genk last summer. However, one thing is certain – the Old Gold faithful are not happy with the current state of affairs at Molineux.
