Liam Keen comment: How do Wolves' six summer signings rank so far this season?
It was a summer of upheaval for Wolves as a handful of key players departed and six new signings arrived.


Wolves' made a small net profit on the summer business but still spent more than £100million on their new signings.
But to what extent have the six arrivals had an impact on Wolves in their first couple months of Premier League football?
Ladislav Krejci
One of the latest signings of the six - Krejci has made the biggest impact so far and is potentially the only signing that has improved Wolves' starting XI.
Arriving on a season-long loan, which will become permanent in the summer, Wolves arguably overpaid with a total package of £26million
But the 26-year-old has been so impressive that Wolves may, in hindsight, be getting a steal.


The Czech international has played several positions in midfield and defence, with both a back four and back five, and has brought composure, technical quality and a physical presence to the side.
Jackson Tchatchoua
Tchatchoua made a good start to his Wolves career and got a good assist in the Carabao Cup against West Ham.
But some disappointing performances followed as he battled for his place in the team.


The Cameroonian has earned his place back of late and improved displays show why, with his impressive pace and physical attributes.
He has been a solid enough addition so far, particularly for just £10million.
Jhon Arias
Arias was the signing with the most promise when he arrived, considering his age (27 at the time but now 28), and his experience both domestically and internationally.
But the forward has taken a while to adapt to the Premier League and has largely been underwhelming so far - following his move for an initial fee just under £15million.
He has played nine games in all competitions and does not have a single goal or assist to his name - which is even more painful after the sitter he missed in the draw with Brighton last time out.


But the positive signs are starting to show, with Arias performing better in recent games and keeping his place in the team.
He has been more involved on the counter, in attacking areas and has also worked hard to track back for the team.
Tolu Arokodare
The towering striker was Wolves' most expensive permanent signing for an initial £22.5million and he had a decent start away at Newcastle, before some under par performances as he regained fitness.


A beautiful finish in the Carabao Cup against Everton has been his highlight so far and of late he has had some energetic substitute appearances.
So far he is proving strong enough competition for Jorgen Strand Larsen and is certainly a handful, but Wolves will need more from him considering the money they paid for him and the club's bottom spot in the Premier League table.
Fer Lopez
The Spaniard became Wolves' first summer signing at £19.5million, knowing it would take him some time to get used to the Premier League due to his relative inexperience and youthful age at 21.
His only Premier League start came against Leeds where he got a nice assist for Krejci's goal, but was then taken off at half-time.


He has since been an unused substitute in the last three games in all competitions, with Vitor Pereira preferring pragmatism over Lopez's technical skills and youthful exuberance.
Lopez has the ability to be a good signing but he will need a lot of time and to earn more trust in order to get more minutes.
David Moller Wolfe
Wolfe came off the bench in the 77th minute against Brighton but before that he did not play a single minute in the four games prior and was left out of the squad altogether against Leeds.
Signed for £10million, Wolfe has been behind returning loanee Hugo Bueno in the pecking order and although his performances have not provided any disastrous mistakes, he has also not made an instant impact.


He is taller and stronger than his counterpart but cannot hold down a place of yet, proving he also needs to adapt to the league.
But considering Wolves need help now, that is a damning indictment of the recruitment strategy in the summer.
