Wolves target at least one more loan signing
Wolves today declared they still want at least one more signing before the loan window shuts to boost their ailing squad against a second successive relegation.
Manager Dean Saunders is seeking to add a striker to his flagging forward line to add to the two loan captures, Reading centre-back Kaspars Gorkss and Liverpool left-back Jack Robinson, before the window shuts on March 28.
Now he has addressed the defence – he has actually replaced three of his back four with Danny Batth in for Roger Johnson – Saunders is desperate to recruit a hungry striker, with Wolves' tally of 38 goals this season the third lowest in the Championship behind Ipswich and Huddersfield.
Chief executive Jez Moxey told the Express & Star: "Nothing has stopped in terms of our efforts to recruit players. We've done two bits of business and we're hoping to do something else as well.
"This window is less frantic from our point of view but still we have got to try to get more done – we'd like to loan at least another player.
"There is pressure on us because we're running out of time. We're doing all we can to help Dean get the right players in but it is not easy finding them or persuading clubs to let them go."
Saunders was frustrated at the lack of activity during the January window when he failed to add a single senior player despite targeting Blackpool right-back Alex Baptiste and Birmingham pair Curtis Davies and Marlon King.
He wanted 33-year-old King after opting against signing Sunderland striker Connor Wickham, 19, who later joined Sheffield Wednesday on loan instead.
The Wolves boss also lost four players – Ronald Zubar, Richard Stearman, Jermaine Pennant and Steven Mouyokolo.
