Wolves fail to land midfielder as summer transfer window closes

The club entered the final day of transfer business wanting a new midfielder to give more competition to starting two Joao Gomes and Andre.

But despite interest in free agent Josh Brownhill and Middlesbrough's Hayden Hackney, Wolves were unable to strike a deal before the 7pm deadline.

Brownhill is free to sign for a club outside of the transfer window, but it is understood it is unlikely a move to Wolves will be revived.

That means Pereira now has limited options in the middle of the park until the winter transfer window opens in January.

Wolves did bring one player in as the signing of Tolu Arokodare was announced for an initial £22.5million.

The 24-year-old arrives from Belgian side Genk and has signed a four-year contract, with an option to extend that by a further 12 months, in a deal that also includes around £865,000 in add-ons.

Wolves also kept hold of Jorgen Strand Larsen, after Newcastle United had two bids rejected for him.

The club are still working on a loan move for Sasa Kalajdzic, with several transfer windows across a number of different leagues still open.

The same goes for Pedro Lima, who Wolves are aiming to secure a temporary move for.

The deadline in Scotland, Spain and Portugal is later on Monday evening, while the Dutch league's window closes on Tuesday evening.

The window remains open in Austria until Friday and in Belgium and Switzerland until next Monday, while the windows in Turkey, Greece, Serbia and Saudi are open for even longer.
