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.

| 1.26 interceptions |
| 1.77 blocks |
| 4.67 clearances |
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.
