Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing for a crucial January transfer window as new manager Rob Edwards looks to revitalise the struggling Premier League side. The club finds itself in a precarious position, sitting bottom of the table after failing to secure a single victory in their opening twelve matches.
New Era Under Rob Edwards
Rob Edwards has taken charge at Molineux following the dismissal of Vitor Pereira, who was sacked after a disappointing run of results. The 42-year-old manager left his position at Championship side Middlesbrough to accept the challenge of steering Wolves away from relegation danger.
Edwards, who previously managed Watford and Luton Town, inherits a team that shares the relegation zone with Leeds United and Burnley. The team's most recent outing saw them suffer a 2-0 defeat to Crystal Palace at Molineux, highlighting the scale of the task facing the new boss.
Transfer Targets Emerge
According to reports from talkSPORT, Wolves had identified AZ Alkmaar striker Troy Parrott as a potential January signing. The 23-year-old Republic of Ireland international has attracted attention after some impressive performances for both club and country.
Parrott has established himself as a key player for AZ Alkmaar since joining the Dutch club in 2024, scoring an impressive 34 goals in 62 appearances. The former Tottenham Hotspur youngster, who remains under contract until June 2029, spent several seasons on loan at various English clubs including Millwall, Ipswich Town and Preston North End before making his permanent move overseas.
Alternative Striker Option
However, sources suggest Wolves may be considering an alternative approach by targeting Royale Union Saint-Gilloise forward Promise David. The Canadian international has emerged as one of the most exciting prospects in the Belgian Pro League, matching Parrott's goal tally with 34 strikes in 62 matches for Union SG.
The 24-year-old striker has seen his career trajectory rise dramatically following spells in Malta and Estonia, developing into what many consider a hidden gem in European football. His combination of pace and power has proven particularly problematic for opposition defenders, making him an attractive prospect for Premier League clubs.
With eight international caps to his name, David will be keen to impress ahead of next summer's World Cup, potentially making January an ideal time for a move. His potential arrival at Molineux would offer Wolves a different attacking option and provide insurance should the club face the prospect of Championship football next season.
Wolves face critical decisions in the January transfer window as Edwards looks to build a squad capable of mounting a survival bid. Whether they pursue Parrott, David, or both, strengthening their attacking options appears to be a priority for the new management team.
