After drawing with Nottingham Forest over the weekend, Wolverhampton Wanderers is presently in 13th place in the Premier League standings going into the hectic holiday season.

Before Christmas, the Old Gold have two games that they can win, but they will need to play at their very best if they want to take three points from Brentford and West Ham United.

Before the January transfer market opens, Gary O’Neil will be hoping to avoid any injuries over the upcoming games since it seems he has his eye on a fellow Premier League midfielder.

Josh Brownhill, a transfer for the Wolves
The Mirror claims that the Molineux team is planning a bid for Josh Brownhill, a midfielder for Burnley, during the January transfer window, and they may be able to get his signing for a reduced fee for around £7 million.

His contract is slated to expire at the end of the current campaign, but Burnley will lose him for free if they don’t trade him in January due to the ongoing stalemate between the player and the club.

Despite his £20 million valuation, Wolves may be able to entice him for £7 million given the terms of his contract in the upcoming weeks.

The former manager of Bournemouth might need another midfielder, and Brownhill could be the perfect choice to take Ruben Neves’ spot.

How Ruben Neves and Josh Brownhill are comparable
The Portuguese jewel ended his six-season spell in the Midlands at Molineux this summer when he signed a £47 million agreement to join Al-Hilal.

After being promoted during the 2017–18 season, the midfielder helped the team become a reliable top-flight team by making over 250 appearances.

Only two midfielders have scored goals for the Old Gold this season, indicating that O’Neil is obviously seeking to add a player who can chip in from the center of the pitch. The Old Gold have really missed his goals from midfield.

Neves scored six goals in the league last season, whereas Brownhill scored seven goals (although in the Championship) and grabbed eight assists. Going forward, the team needs players just like Brownhill.

During the 2023/24 season so far, the 27-year-old Brownhill has scored three Premier League goals and he currently ranks second in the squad for goals and assists (three), along with ranking third for key passes per game (0.8) and for tackles per game (1.7), showcasing his abilities across a range of metrics.
