Wolves are racing against time to secure at least two more signings before the January transfer window closes.

Vitor Pereira is keen to add two new players to his squad before the deadline, highlighting the urgency as the clock winds down.

Despite having already bolstered their defense with the signing of Emmanuel Agbadou, Pereira feels the squad needs more.

He’s specifically looking for another centre-back and a midfielder, pressing the club’s higher-ups to act swiftly.

Agbadou, early in his Wolves tenure, has been receiving glowing reviews, fulfilling the club’s urgent need for defensive reinforcement.

It’s clear that Wolves desperately need another central defender, especially with the recent underwhelming performances by players like Santi Bueno.

The search for a new defender is on, with Wolves scouts spotted in France, potentially identifying a left-sided centre-back.

According to GIVEMESPORT, Wolves have set their sights on Clement Akpa from Auxerre.

At 23, Akpa can play both as a left-back and centrally in defense, fitting the profile of the left-footed defender Wolves are eager to acquire.

Having contributed significantly to Auxerre’s promotion last season, Akpa has established himself in Ligue 1, now facing some of the top attackers in the world.

Two Wolves players know about Clement Akpa

After the success of Emmanuel Agbadou, Wolves are likely eager to tap into the French market again, with Clement Akpa emerging as a notable prospect from their recent scouting missions.

Interestingly, Akpa already has two connections to Wolves. He’s currently playing alongside Ki-Jana Hoever, who is on loan from Wolves and doing well at Auxerre.

Moreover, Akpa has faced off against Agbadou in Ligue 1, giving Wolves an insider’s perspective on his abilities beyond just scouting reports.

GIVEMESPORT’s latest on Wolves’ interest in Akpa indicates that the club’s scouts have been ‘impressed’ by his performances this season.

With the transfer window nearly closed, it’s a race against time to see if Wolves can finalize their interest in Akpa and secure their desired reinforcements.

Tottenham’s manager, Ange Postecoglou, has been given a vote of confidence by the club’s board, despite a run of dismal performances.

The humiliating 2-1 home defeat to Leicester City on Sunday marked Tottenham’s eighth loss in their last ten Premier League matches, leading many to speculate that the Australian’s time at the club might be coming to an end.

Speculation has been rife about Postecoglou’s future since his move from Celtic, but it appears the Tottenham board isn’t prepared to make a change just yet.

According to insiders like football.london, chairman Daniel Levy still has faith in Postecoglou, believing he’s the right fit for the role despite the doubts over his ability to reverse the team’s fortunes.

Additionally, it’s understood that the Tottenham hierarchy acknowledges the impact of injuries on the team’s performance and plans to bolster the squad with new signings before the January transfer window shuts, aiming to stabilize the situation.

With more than two years remaining on his contract, Postecoglou is keeping his focus on the job at hand, even as he acknowledges the inherent instability of managerial positions.

“Who knows? ” he said. “When you are the manager of a football club you can be very vulnerable and isolated. I don’t feel that. I feel like this group of players are giving everything for the club. I have a group of staff that is really committed. I focus on that.

“My role within that is to try and support these players. When the guys who are coming back come back it is going to give everybody a lift.

“There is a fantastic opportunity this season to make an impact and I know we can. But in terms of your question, is there anything I can say about that that is going to change anything that I need to do tomorrow morning? Nothing.”

Former England goalkeeper Rob Green delivered a scathing assessment of Postecoglou’s performance during the current turmoil. On BBC Radio 5 Live, he said: “The adaptability of Ange has been held up in the spotlight, and it is not there.

“[His stance is] ‘I’m going to play my way’ and it has eaten away at the players. I don’t think he has got the ability to change because he is so hell-bent in his ways.”

Arsenal are currently engaged in negotiations to bring in a new player for Mikel Arteta, according to the dependable David Ornstein, with the club’s leadership making headway in talks with the prospective signing.

Despite facing an injury crisis in their attack, Arsenal haven’t made any signings this January, much to the chagrin of their supporters. They’ve been connected with numerous forwards this transfer window as they push to secure the Premier League title.

Matheus Cunha is one of the names most prominently mentioned as a potential addition to the north London squad before the transfer window closes, but Wolves are determined to retain their leading scorer as they fight to avoid relegation from the Premier League.

On another front, Arsenal have also been linked with Benjamin Sesko, who’s been in top form for RB Leipzig. However, similar to Wolves, Leipzig are reluctant to part with one of their stars mid-season, and a transfer for the Slovenian in the summer seems more practical despite Arsenal’s keen interest.

Nonetheless, Arteta has made it clear that the club will keep working to find a solution before their match against Wolves.

“My opinion is clear that we lost two very very important players, Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus. So we lack goals, we lack people, we lack options in the frontline, it’s clear,” Arteta said.

“It is clear that in the period that we lost them, ideally we need some help. We were short already and now we are even shorter. The team still copes with that.”

Arsenal in advanced talks with “highly rated” talent

According to the well-regarded David Ornstein, Arsenal are in talks to sign Rosenborg’s young midfielder Sverre Nypan. This teenage prodigy has attracted attention from several elite clubs recently, but it’s Arsenal who appear to be making the most significant moves to secure his signature.

“They’re working on a deal to sign Sverre Nypan, a really highly rated Norwegian midfielder, 18 years old, from Rosenborg. They’re advancing in talks with his representatives and club to club, nothing has been agreed. There’s no decision made on his future. Others are interested in him, such as Girona in Spain, not Manchester City”, he explained.

As Ornstein reports, via GiveMeSport, although “no decision has been made” on Nypan’s future, Arsenal are “advancing” in negotiations with his representatives.

At just 18, Nypan has been hailed as a player with ‘elite’ potential by football analyst Ben Mattinson on X, having recorded eight goals and seven assists in his last season in the Norwegian league.

Given that the Eliteserien season spans from April to December, a move during the current winter transfer window seems more probable than waiting until summer, suggesting Arsenal might soon introduce a new talent to their north London squad.
