Wolves miss out on two striker signings

A deal to bring in Corinthians striker Yuri Alberto on a loan with an option to buy was agreed with the club and player, but Alberto’s agent demanded more money before the deal was finalised and Wolves pulled out of the transfer as a result.

The 22-year-old Brazilian international scored 10 goals and added seven assists in all competitions in 2022/23 and previously played for Zenit St Petersburg.

Meanwhile, Wolves’ move for Armando Broja took another turn on deadline day as they went head-to-head with Fulham for his signature.

Wolves had a loan bid knocked back by Chelsea the day before, with the London club demanding an excessive obligation to buy was included.

Chelsea then agreed to a straight loan but insisted Wolves must pay a £5million loan fee to take Broja.

Due to Wolves’ financial concerns that loan fee was beyond their means and a move did not materialise, with the striker instead making the switch to Fulham. Reports have suggested they are paying a £4million loan fee.

As a result, it is likely Nathan Fraser does not depart Wolves on loan.
