Wolves prepared to let Guedes leave this summer
Wolves are willing to let midfielder Goncalo Guedes leave this summer as Vitor Pereira reshapes his squad. The club has already banked over £90m following the sales of Matheus Cunha to Manchester United and Rayan Ait-Nouri to Manchester City. Advertisement Guedes cost Wolves £27.5m when he joined from from Valencia in 2022 but has made just 18 Premier League starts. He has spent two loan spells at Benfica and also six months at Villarreal in 2024. Guedes, 28, returned to Molineux and 33 of his 51 appearances for the club came last season. "I'm not sure about Goncalo Guedes, because he has a contract with us," boss Vitor Pereira said via Portuguese outlet Record earlier this week. "I like him, but he's been there for a few years and has this ambition to leave." The club has been looking at left-backs and number 10s to replace Ait-Nouri and Cunha - although Hugo Bueno is due to return from his loan spell at Feyenoord to be a contender for the left-back spot. Advertisement Right-back remains a priority with Nelson Semedo out of contract and yet to sign the new deal on offer at Molineux. Wolves are also due to appoint Domenico Teti as part of their internal shake-up. Teti worked with Pereira at Al Shabab and is expected to come in as sporting director after the departure of Matt Hobbs last week.

Brighton loss shows where summer recruitment should be focused
Brighton have a knack for spoiling Wolves' party, and the latest defeat was a reminder that the "manager of the month curse" is alive and well at Wolves supporters, the Seagulls' recent record is enough to give a sinking feeling before kick-off. Time after time, Wolves have not solved Brighton's puzzle. Their press, quick transitions and tactical shape always seem to catch Wolves first half offered glimpses of control and a few decent spells, but after conceding a penalty - another mistake that is all too familiar - it felt like things were not going to go our way. There was little urgency and the home crowd felt the was not a thrashing, but it hurt because Wolves were mostly undone by themselves. Brighton's discipline and shape made the difference. Wolves had more of the ball but did not threaten enough. The creative spark just was not Cunha dropped much deeper than usual, missing his usual impact up front and his costly challenge for the penalty gave Brighton their opener. Goncalo Guedes had moments but could not convert. When corners and free-kicks came Wolves' way, they led to nothing. Wolves seemed to lose all their attacking intent.A slip in concentration led to Brighton's second goal and Wolves just could not fans, the loss felt avoidable. Brighton were not outstanding, but still beat us again. The frustration is clear: without more creativity, pace, or a real goal threat, Wolves will keep finding teams like Brighton hard to break down. Looking ahead, summer recruitment needs to focus on fixing these would be a shame if Wolves just limp over the line. We need to keep recent momentum going, find that missing spark and set the tone for next more from Dazzling Dave at Always Wolves, external

Wolves in danger of fading away
Wolves' season, which included a run of five consecutive wins in April, could be in danger of fading away after a second consecutive loss where they failed to will rue the chances they missed in the 2-0 loss to Brighton, especially in the first half, including Goncalo Guedes' flick over the bar when unmarked in the penalty area and Marshall Munetsi's headers that lacked Vitor Pereira rolled the dice when introducing Jean-Ricner Bellegarde, Pablo Sarabia and Jorgen Strand Larsen just before the hour - and the move almost paid hosts enjoyed their best spell as the game opened up, with Bart Verbruggen keeping Brighton ahead when he saved a deflection from Brighton's Jan Paul van they ran out of steam towards the end, and their remaining fixtures at Crystal Palace and at home to Brentford give them some hope of finishing mid-table to prove that April's run was no fluke.

Welbeck, Gruda strike to give Brighton 2-0 win at Wolves
WOLVERHAMPTON, England, May 10 (Reuters) - Brighton & Hove Albion claimed a 2-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League on Saturday thanks to goals from Danny Welbeck and substitute Brajan Gruda, keeping them within touching distance of qualifying for European football. Brighton moved up one place to ninth on 55 points, level with eighth-placed Brentford. Should Manchester City defeat Crystal Palace in the FA Cup final this month, an eighth-place finish in the Premier League would secure qualification for the Conference League. Wolves began well at Molineux but forward Goncalo Guedes, making his first league start since February, was unable to make the most of the two half-chances in the opening 10 minutes. The visitors thought they had taken the lead in the 23rd minute through a Welbeck volley, but the strike was disallowed after winger Yankuba Minteh was adjudged to have interfered with play while being in an offside position. Moments later, Brighton were awarded a penalty for a foul by Matheus Cunha on Mats Wieffer, and Welbeck stepped up to put the ball in the net and take his tally of league goals this season up to 10. Wolves piled on the pressure in a desperate search for the equaliser, with Brighton keeper Bart Verbruggen saving Cunha's long-range shot before palming a dangerous cross away from Jorgen Strand Larsen. The game swung from end to end in the last 30 minutes and Brighton's forwards made frequent forays into Wolves' final third, but were often let down by their decision-making. One of Brighton's attacks finally worked out in the 85th minute, however, as German Gruda scored his first goal for the south-coast club, delicately dinking the ball over onrushing keeper Jose Sa after being played in by Simon Adingra. For Wolves, the loss was another step backwards after last week's 1-0 defeat by Manchester City ended a run of six successive league victories. Vitor Pereira's side dropped to 14th in the table.
