We bring you a round up of the latest Wolves transfer news including Wolves interest in Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho.
Wolves have kicked off their January transfer window with the confirmed signing of Emmanuel Agbadou from Stade de Reims. The Ivorian defender arrives on a permanent deal, adding strength and versatility to the backline as the club looks to solidify their position in the Premier League. With this first deal wrapped up, Wolves are actively pursuing more signings to bolster their squad, with rumours swirling about potential arrivals in key areas. This round-up will cover all the latest transfer news, completed deals, and developing stories around Molineux.
Wolves have reportedly initiated preliminary discussions with Sevilla about signing Kelechi Iheanacho. The Nigerian striker, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer last summer, could be loaned out this January as the Spanish club has approved the move. Wolves are joined by Ipswich Town in their pursuit, with additional interest from other Premier League and European clubs. Iheanacho has scored three goals in 11 appearances this season and has a contract with Sevilla until June 2026, with an option for an extra year. Known for his stints with Leicester City and Manchester City, Iheanacho’s potential return to England signals Wolves’ intent to strengthen their attacking options as they sit in 17th place in the Premier League.
Reports suggest Wolves have received a major boost as Matheus Cunha has verbally agreed to a new four-year contract, extending his current deal, which was set to expire in 2027. The Brazilian forward, who has been in stellar form with 10 goals and four assists in 19 Premier League appearances this season, is a key player in Wolves’ battle for survival. However, the new deal reportedly includes a £45 million relegation release clause, which could trigger interest from other clubs if Wolves fail to secure their top-flight status. The agreement reflects the club’s commitment to retaining their star players amid a challenging season.
Swansea City are reportedly interested in bringing Wolves midfielder Luke Cundle back to the club for a second loan spell. Cundle, 22, previously had a stint at Swansea during the 2022/23 season and impressed with his performances. With limited opportunities in Wolves’ first team, the Warrington-born player is considered a strong option to bolster Swansea’s midfield depth. Despite being under contract at Wolves until 2026, his immediate future remains uncertain, with Plymouth Argyle also linked to the player. A return to Swansea could be an opportunity for Cundle to secure regular playing time and continue his development.
Wolves are reportedly targeting Colombian international Richard Rios as a potential midfield reinforcement amid interest in Mario Lemina from the Saudi Pro League. Currently playing for Palmeiras, Rios has impressed with his strong defensive and offensive contributions, making him an appealing option for Wolves. Known for his versatility as a central and defensive midfielder, the 24-year-old has garnered attention after establishing himself at the Brazilian club and earning 19 caps for Colombia. With Lemina’s future uncertain, Wolves could push for Rios to maintain depth and quality in their midfield, although his reported €100 million release clause could complicate negotiations.
