Wolves track Danso and Ordonez as Pereira plots January moves
- Published
Wolves are keen on Club Brugge's Joel Ordonez and Lens' Kevin Danso as they look to improve their defensive options.
The centre-backs are high on Wolves' wanted list for January with new boss Vitor Pereira, who has taken seven points from his opening three games in charge, eager for reinforcements.
Wolves are 17th in the Premier League and have conceded 42 goals in 19 games, the joint-worst defensive record in the division along with Leicester.
Ordonez, 20, and Danso, 26, have been tracked for a while and the club's interest pre-dates Pereira's arrival, after he replaced Gary O'Neil earlier this month.
Austria international Danso, who was in the academies at MK Dons and Reading, also spent time on loan at Southampton in 2019-20 and joined Lens from Augsburg in 2021.
Ordonez, an Ecuador international, has been at Club Brugge since 2023 after starting his career at Independiente del Valle.
Pereira said following Sunday's 2-2 draw at Tottenham that he wanted to add to his defensive options.
He said: "We're playing with three at the back and I don't want three centre-backs, I want just one central defender and a full-back left or right. But it's a position that we need to bring someone in with some expertise."
