With left-back Rayan Ait-Nouri joining Manchester City for £31m, attention at Wolves turns to replacements.

Forward Matheus Cunha also swapped Molineux for Manchester, moving to United for £62.5m , so Wolves have done good business early and that should allow boss Vitor Pereira to shape his squad.

They are in the market for a left-back and Hugo Bueno will return from his loan at Feyenoord to compete for the spot.

The 22-year-old played 29 times, including in the Champions League, as Feyenoord finished third in the Eredivisie.

Pereira is a fan, so I expect Bueno - who has been at the club for five years - to be back at Molineux next season. In the meantime, Wolves will also look for another left-back to provide competition.

A right-back - with captain Nelson Semedo out of contract and yet to sign the new deal offered - and at least one number 10 are also on Pereira's wishlist.
