Wolves actually pulled off a transfer masterclass with controversial deal during summer window
Wolves made their presence known in the summer transfer window, with one deal standing out as the best.
Gary O’Neil was aware of the task he had to face over the summer to get his squad in order for the 2024/25 campaign.
After the lows of the 2023 transfer window, Wolves were left with a squad that desperately needed more depth and quality.
As a result, Matt Hobbs and O’Neil welcomed eight new faces to Molineux in the summer, as well as offloading three stars permanently.
Wolves’ sale of Pedro Neto to Chelsea was one of the best transfers
From the deadline day arrival of Andre to beating Chelsea to teen sensation Pedro Lima, it was a summer of thrills for the Old Gold in the market.
While things went quiet in the middle of the transfer window, Hobbs and O’Neil managed to reinject hope into the squad by acquiring three signings in the final week.
The incomings at Compton generated attention although, it’s now been suggested that Wolves’ best piece of business came from a sale.
Following the closure of the summer transfer window, The Athletic compiled an evaluation of the Premier League’s activity in the market, ranking the deals completed by every club.
Wolves’ sale of Pedro Neto to Chelsea flagged up as a talking point, but not for good reasons from the Blues’ point of view.
Neto to Chelsea had the ‘lowest rating’ of every high-profile transfer, as the West Londoners handed Wolves £54m for the winger who despite being brilliant, carries a terrible injury record.
