Fabrizio Romano: Wolves finalising details of deal to sign young midfielder
According to dependable reporter Fabrizio Romano, Wolves are currently completing the specifics of an agreement to sign a young midfield player who shows a lot of promise and is on the rise.
Gary O’Neil receives recognition following a remarkable debut season with Wolves
Despite Saturday’s FA Cup heartbreak against Coventry City, the Old Gold have been quite successful this season under head coach Gary O’Neil. The Englishman was brought in to replace Julen Lopetegui last year.
Wolves finished 13th in the league the previous season, but they’re on track to improve and might even secure a berth for European qualification. As it stands, O’Neil’s team is competing for a spot in the Europa League against teams like Brighton, West Ham, Newcastle, and possibly even Man United.
Few could have predicted O’Neil’s outstanding performance; in fact, some have even suggested that he’s one of the league’s finest managers this year.
“I believe that the Manager of the Year award will go to the winner because there will be a lot of storylines surrounding it, whether it’s Arteta, Guardiola, or Klopp raising the trophy. Apart from that, though, you have to admit that O’Neil has accomplished far more than most people had anticipated.
“He needs a new deal from the wolves, or else they will quickly poach him. Fans claimed they had to let him go at the beginning of the season, but I imagine they would be devastated if he went.
At first, the 40-year-old was considered a bit of a step down from an elite boss with trophies like Lopetegui, who has won awards at the highest level and even served as Real Madrid’s manager.
On the whole, though, O’Neill’s detractors have been proven extremely incorrect by Wolves’ well-liked head coach. Some have even thrown O’Neil’s hat into the ring to manage England in the near future.
Under O’Neill, the Midlands team will also be making plans for the future because, according to rumors, Wolves is eager to offer its manager a new deal and retain him for the foreseeable future.
Jeff Shi and company need to use every effort to persuade O’Neil that he can assemble a successful team for the years to come, from transfers to Wolves’ general organizational structure.
Wolves are almost done deciding on Matheus Mane’s details.
O’Neil might be convinced by signing some of Europe’s most promising young players; Romano is now stating that Wolves are closing in on a deal to capture Matheus Mane.
Although the 16-year-old midfielder is still in the non-league ranks with Rochdale, he has already accomplished enough to be called up to their academy.
