Image source, Getty ImagesWest Ham have submitted a £25m bid for Wolves defender Max Kilman - but that is expected to be rejected.
The 27-year-old has made 151 appearances across seven seasons at Molineux and Gary O'Neil is not actively looking to sell the player, who signed a contract to 2028 less than 12 months ago.
Kilman was an ever-present for Wolves last season, scoring twice in three games at the turn of the year.
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves will host Spanish side Rayo Vallecano in a friendly at Molineux on Saturday, 10 August at 15:00 BST.
It will be their final pre-season friendly before they travel to Arsenal for the start of the 2024-25 Premier League campaign.
Rayo Vallecano finished 17th in Spain's top flight last season.
Before the two sides meet, Gary O'Neil's men face West Ham, Crystal Palace and RB Leipzig on their tour of the United States.
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves striker Leon Chiwome has signed a new deal with the club until the summer of 2028.
The 18-year-old played four times for Wolves last season, including two starts in the Premier League, before picking up an injury in training in April that ended his season.
Speaking about Chiwome's new deal, sporting director Matt Hobbs told the club website: "Leon stepped up last year in a tough time, when we had some injuries, and showed the potential he has.
"At the moment, the plan is for him to stay with us, develop under Gary [O'Neil, head coach], his staff and James [Collins] with the under-21s, but while the window is open, there are other possibilities."
The fixtures for the new Premier League season are out and we asked you for your predictions on where Wolves will be after 10 games.
Here is a selection of your comments:
Leslie: Another tough start to the season, so I expect us to be bottom half after 10 games, but hey, we finish the season with a home game! First time for a few years that we've either started or finished at home. And none of the 'big six' in the last three. All we need now is some fair and accurate VAR officiating and we could be in for an enjoyable season.
Kieran: If we have some squad depth then 12th. If not we will be 16th. We need to learn from the end of last season, otherwise we will be in relegation battle.
Harrison: If O'Neil and his team keep up with the wonderkid signings, I can see us sitting comfortably in the top 10.
Eve: Solid 12th place considering we have a difficult start.
Mike: Tough start. Eight points if we're lucky. Too many weaknesses defensively. Also need a couple of proven consistent goalscorers. Hope I am being over-pessimistic.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt promises to be another season of progress at Wolves under Gary O'Neil. There was disappointment at how last term finished, a feeling of frustration at how the campaign dwindled after an FA Cup quarter-final exit to Coventry and missing out of European qualification.
It meant their finish position of 14th seemed harsh after the encouraging first two thirds of the season, but it should not dampen what was still a positive debut campaign with O'Neil, even in the shadow of having to sell last summer to comply with profit and sustainability rules.
They did the double over Chelsea and Tottenham and beat eventual champions Manchester City at Molineux last season, while they also drew with Aston Villa and Newcastle.
Three of their opening six games for 2024-25 are home games with Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle, which will hold no fear for Wolves.
O'Neil installed a unity at the club and is expected to be rewarded with a new contract, with sporting director Matt Hobbs saying in March talks would happen at the end of the season.
Nothing has been signed yet but there is no rush from either side and a relaxed atmosphere can only help push the club forward next season.
There are also no financial pressures to cash in on star man Pedro Neto, even if there is a feeling he has served his time at Molineux, and the £12.7m signing of Rodrigo Gomes from Braga last week shows the club is backing the manager.

Image source, PA MediaWolves are expecting an offer from West Ham for their captain Maximilian Kilman.
BBC Sport understands the Hammers are interested in the 27-year-old centre-back - but it is yet to progress beyond that.
Wolves think West Ham will eventually push forward in their efforts to reunite Kilman with new boss Julen Lopetegui, who worked with the former England futsal international at Molineux.
Wolves are not actively looking to sell the player, who signed a contract to 2028 less than 12 months ago.
However, they are realistic enough to know if the proposed fee reaches the £45m being rumoured, it may force their hand.
Kilman played every minute of all 38 Premier League games for Wolves last season. Arsenal's William Saliba was the only other outfield player to achieve that feat.
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves will get their 2024-25 season under way against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium on Saturday, 17 August.
Wanderers have lost their opening Premier League game in each of the past three season, and they have never started a league campaign with defeat in four seasons in a row in their history.
Wolves have also won just one of their past 13 away top-flight visits to Arsenal (D4 L8), which was a 2-1 win in November 2020 under Nuno Espirito Santo.
Now the fixtures for the new Premier League season are out, it is time to start looking ahead to your club's 2024-25 campaign and all the key matches.
So, where do you think Wolves will be after the first 10 games?
Wolverhampton Wanderers' Premier League fixtures for the 2024-25 season have arrived and if you haven't seen them yet you can find them here.
After an opening-day trip to Arsenal, Wolves' first home game of the season is against Chelsea on 24 August, followed by a visit to Nottingham Forest to round off their August schedule.
Wolves go to neighbours Aston Villa on 21 September, with the return fixture at Molineux on 1 February, while their two games against champions Manchester City are on 19 October and 3 May.
Manchester United will visit Molineux on Boxing Day, while ex-Wanderers boss Julen Lopetegui is scheduled to take his West Ham team to the West Midlands on 1 April.
Gary O'Neil's side end the campaign with games against Brighton at home, Crystal Palace away and Brentford at home.

What should you look out for?
By chief football news reporter Simon Stone
Matches around European games
This will be even more keenly assessed than usual given the four clubs in the Champions League and two in the Europa League will have eight first-phase games rather than six. Long trips before or after European games do not go down well with managers.
Matches around internationals
There are international breaks in September, October, November and March. In Europe, the first three of those are for Nations League fixtures. World Cup qualifiers in Europe start in March 2025, though in South America and Asia they are being played in all four windows.
England managers tend not to be keen on blockbuster league matches immediately before a break and club bosses are equally unhappy at having to play key matches after them when so many players get back on Thursday or Friday.
Festive fixtures
To allow for a mid-August start, there will not be a winter break this season. The Premier League has assured clubs they will not be asked to play twice in less than 60 hours at any point over Christmas and New Year. That rules out any club playing on 26 December also having a game on 28 December. There will be no Christmas Eve fixture in the 2024-25 season.
As the FA Cup third round has been moved from its traditional home on the first weekend of January to the second, it does seem there will be four rounds of fixtures over the festive period - starting on 21 December and ending on 5 January.
New managers
Four Premier League clubs already have new managers - Fabian Hurzeler (Brighton), Enzo Maresca (Chelsea), Arne Slot (Liverpool) and Julen Lopetegui (West Ham) - with a fifth to come at Leicester. So that's a new era beginning at 25% of clubs before a ball has been kicked. Russell Martin will take charge of a top-flight game for the first time after Southampton's promotion.

Image source, Getty ImagesWolves are set to sign teenage defender Pedro Lima from Brazilian second-tier club Sport Recife in an £8.5m deal.
The 17-year-old will not be confirmed as a Wolves player until his 18th birthday on 1 July, but an agreement on a five-year contract with an option for an extra year has been reached.
The West Midlands club are set to sign the young defender from under the noses of Chelsea's partner club Strasbourg, who had thought they tied up a deal last week.
A Sport Recife statement read: "Sport Club do Recife announces that it has signed a binding agreement to transfer the economic and federative rights of Pedro Lima to Wolverhampton Wanderers.
"The agreement is subject to customary conditions, including the athlete's approval of medical examinations conducted by the English club.
"President Yuri Romao and the football management committee will detail the operation in a statement when all acts related to the business have been completed."
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves will play Bundesliga side RB Leipzig in Miami as part of their pre-season tour of the United States.
The game will take place on Saturday, 3 August and will be their third friendly of the trip, following games against fellow Premier League sides West Ham and Crystal Palace in Jacksonville and Annapolis respectively.
Wolves will become the first Premier League team to play at Inter Miami's Chase Stadium.
Head coach Gary O'Neil said: "Playing Leipzig will be a really good test at an important stage of pre-season for us so, along with West Ham and Crystal Palace, we've got three games of a good standard in the US.
"The heat will be a factor, but the first two fixtures will allow us to build up to the Leipzig one. I'm looking forward to all three games in the US, they're all good tests in quick succession, so it will be tough physically.
"We're going to have a really good base up in Miami - a fantastic training facility, set in a really good area. The facility will help us get some really good work done and we're excited to meet some of the Wolves fans who live in that part of the world, so it should be a really good trip."
Image source, Getty ImagesFormer Wolves goalkeeper Matija Sarkic has died at the age of 26.
Sarkic signed from Aston Villa in July 2020 and left to join Millwall last summer.
During his time at Molineux, he represented the under-21s as well as the first-team, making three senior appearances during the 2022-23 season.
He also made several appearances between the sticks in the Carabao Cup and FA Cup.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs, said: "The news has come as a massive shock to all of us. It is unbelievably heartbreaking and everyone at Wolves is devastated to hear of Mati’s passing.
"He was a wonderful goalkeeper, but as a person – first and foremost – he was loved by everyone. Mati was such a popular guy around the club and always had a smile on his face. He worked hard, and he was so personable, so polite and friendly to every member of staff at Compton.
"For everybody who knew him really well, it is such sad news to hear and it is hard to accept that he is no longer with us."
If you could only buy one, sell one, and loan out one player at Wolves, who would you pick?
That was the question we asked you to answer, with the transfer window set to open on Friday.
Here are some of your thoughts:
David: Buy: A proper, proven goalscorer. Sell: Fabio Silva - at a dramatic, club record loss as he publicly wishes to leave and has repeatedly failed at the top level. Loan: Fraser - to get rid of the rough edges.
Tom: Buy: Boulaye Dia - a player, like Joao Gomes, fighting to come to Wolves and has a prolific record in Serie A; with them demanding 10m, it would be a steal. Sell: Neto - although no fan would want him to leave, the money generated would be hugely beneficial to improving our overall squad depth, especially after signing Gomes.
Giles: Buy: Cameron Archer - he will be surplus at Aston Villa and he is young, hungry and knows how to score. Sell: Jose Sa - if the coaching staff have reservations about how committed he is to improving, then it is time to change. Loan: Nathan Fraser - he is good but not yet at Premier League standard, and he needs to build his confidence to start scoring goals frequently.
Jon: Buy: If very big money offers come in for Neto, Kilman etc we should sell to finance incomings. Sell: Players who were on loan last season and do not want to play for the club, like Fabio Silva, Goncalo Guedes and Daniel Podence. Loan: Chiquinho, Hoever and Mosquera.
Glen: Buy: We really need to do some business early as we have a serious lack of squad depth all over the pitch and one or two injuries really depleted us last season; our priorities really need to be a striker and centre-back cover. Sell: Pedro Neto - letting him go for a huge fee to help fund what we need will not be the worst thing in the world given his injury record.

Image source, Getty ImagesRodrigo Gomes has called his move to Wolves "a dream come true" and said he is "inspired" by fellow forward Pedro Neto.
"The Premier League is the best league in the world and it's really a pleasure to be here," the 20-year-old signed from Portuguese side Braga for £12.7m told the club's website, external.
"Wolves are a very good team. It's good to feel that the staff want me."
On Neto, who Wolves signed from Braga in 2019, Gomes added: "He's become like a model to follow in the Braga academy. He inspires me.
"Wolves have a lot of Portuguese players and it makes me more comfortable."
Image source, Getty ImagesWolves manager Gary O'Neil has described Rodrigo Gomes as "the perfect type of signing for us" after the winger's £12.7m move from Braga was confirmed.
"I'm delighted, especially to get one in so early," said O'Neil of the 20-year-old Portuguese's transfer.
"For where we are as a club, he's the perfect type of signing for us. He's young and has potential.
"He's not proven at Premier League level yet, but he's one we definitely know we can get to that level. We can work with him and help him develop, proving himself in the toughest league in the world.
"He's a great character - every time I've watched him, his enthusiasm and endeavour has drawn my eyes towards him, so I'm really pleased and he's a really good signing for us."
Portugal Under-21 international Gomes spent last season on loan at Estoril, making 30 appearances and scoring seven times. He made his Braga debut in 2020 and scored once in 43 outings.
Wolves sporting director Matt Hobbs added: "Getting him in has been relatively smooth because Rodrigo was clear that he wanted to come here and is excited."
