Wolves summer transfer window 2025: Top targets, budget, most likely signing and top priority

Wolverhampton Wanderers are pushing for deadline-day signings on the back of starting the new Premier League campaign with three successive defeats.

However, with issues over having minimal homegrown players in their squad, Vitor Pereira and the club's recruitment team are facing a complex process on September 1.

Here, Sports Mole considers the club's top targets on deadline day.

Wolves will be signing Genk forward Tolu Arokodare before the end of deadline day, the Nigeria international having already said goodbye to the club on social media.

While most Wolves fans would like to see another central defender arrive, Wolves may instead place focus on signing former Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill on a free transfer.

Budgets

With Jorgen Strand Larsen seemingly staying at Molineux, Wolves will not be adding £60m+ to their budget.

Nevertheless, money already recouped in the summer means that there are no issues regarding their efforts to sign their desired targets.

At this point in time, only Arokodare and Brownhill look like joining Wolves over the coming days.

However, Sasa Kalajdzic has been tipped to drop out of the squad and it is not beyond the realms of possibility that bids could arrive for other fringe members.

Priority positions

A new centre-forward was the priority for Wolves and that has been solved by acquiring Arokodare.

Ladislav Krejci is seemingly viewed as a new centre-back over central-midfield, while Brownhill could theoretically be signed once the transfer window shuts due to his status as a free agent.
