How are Wolves going to start scoring?
- Published
Where the goals will come from has been a concern over the summer at Wolves - and the subject of several questions to come in via our 'Ask about Wolves' form.
They scored 63 last season but lost just over half - 32 - before this campaign, with Matheus Cunha (17), Goncalo Guedes (five), Rayan Ait-Nouri (five), Pablo Sarabia (three), Tommy Doyle (one) and Mario Lemina (one) all leaving.
Christantus Uche, Getafe's young striker, is expected to arrive at Molineux to provide some back-up, but more is likely to be needed.
Jorgen Strand Larsen is a good option and his 14 goals in 30 league starts last season was a good return in a debut season. However, he needs help.
Vitor Pereira wanted at least three more players before the season. Wolves have added right-back Jackson Tchatchoua from Verona, while Uche is expected to be the second.
Uche is just 22 and therefore still developing, so it would be wrong to expect him to score 20 goals. He only got four for Getafe in 2024-25.
Uche did net in the 2-0 win at Celta Vigo last week, but he is not at the level to fill Cunha's boots.
Wolves are not going to spend the type of money which is going to land them a proven Premier League scorer, so they need to come up with alternatives.
