The club are targeting a midfielder and another defender, as an addition to their earlier signing of Emmanuel Agbadou.

But with limited room for manoeuvre in their Premier League registered squad, Wolves may have to balance the side before the transfer window closes on February 3.

 Tommy Doyle has been linked with a move away, while Boubacar Traore is still working his way back from a knee injury.

"I can only speak about it if someone comes," Pereira said when asked if a midfielder could depart as well as Mario Lemina.

"If someone comes, I can look at what we have and be honest with the players.

"This is the way I must be honest, explain my opinion and we'll see what happens."

Craig Dawson has also seen his numbers limited under Pereira, with Santi Bueno preferred ahead of him of late.

When asked if the experienced defender could leave the club, the head coach added: "He's our player.

"If another centre-back comes, we'll see and we'll have a conversation.

"I must have a conversation with the club and we'll see what happens.

"Until now, we'll keep everybody inside the project."

Former captain Lemina still wants to leave the club in the current transfer window and will not be part of the squad to face Arsenal on Saturday afternoon.

"I'm waiting for the end of the market and we'll decide what we do," Pereira said on Lemina's situation.

"If he stays here he will be a very good player for us, in my opinion. He has quality.

"We'll see what happens."
