O'Neil hopeful of signings before deadline day
- Published
Wolves boss Gary O'Neil remains hopeful of bringing in new recruits before the transfer deadline.
Burnley defender Dara O'Shea and Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale remain targets but any deals are likely to drag into next week.
Wolves are yet to meet Burnley's £15m asking price for O'Shea, while Arsenal prefer a straight sale, rather than the initial loan that was tabled.
The club would also like to bring in a winger to replace Pedro Neto, after his £54m move to Chelsea, before the 31 August deadline.
"We're trying to do stuff. It's been busy since the window opened for the recruitment team," said O'Neil before Sunday's visit of Chelsea.
"I would expect the next week to be busy in the world of football, there seems to be a lot of clubs trying to do stuff.
"Individual names and rumours, I'm not interested in. We are working hard to do some stuff which we think will help us.
"The important thing is the valuation of the player correct for us? It'll be key for us in terms of what we can and can't do in the next seven days.
"We can do stuff, definitely, it just needs to fit properly for the team and club. I've not heard any [budget] figure in any of my meetings and discussions."
