After such an exciting first campaign back at English football’s top table, Wolverhampton Wanderers tackle the summer transfer window with excitement aplenty.

Having confirmed their place in the Europa League qualifying stages, attentions are now firmly placed on the club’s recruitment drive.

Though Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, by the manager’s own admission, is small, Wolves posted a mightily impressive seventh placed finish in the top flight, claiming the ‘best of the rest’ tag in the process.

It does mean, though, that when the old gold look to add to the existing group this summer, they’ll do so prudently and with the best interests of the current squad in mind.

Additions are expected, of course; not only will the club desire to improve on their domestic performance this season, but they also will hopefully have a prosperous Europa League campaign to look forward to.

For that, they’ll need to add depth, but how do the bookmakers see Wanderers’ window panning out?

Via Sky Bet and Paddy Power, these are the players Wolves are said to be in the running for.

Wolves’ transfer odds

Jack Grealish 11/1

Wolves are second favourites behind long term admirers Tottenham Hotspur to land the Villa captain - though it appears very unlikely that Grealish will be in a rush to go anywhere after securing Premier League football where he is.

He admitted after the win over Derby that it was a 'dream come true' to lead Villa back into the top flight.

That doesn't sound like someone itching for a move.

James Tarkowski 8/1

Burnley and England defender James Tarkowski is attracting interest from sides in the bracket above the Clarets in the Premier League.

Leicester, preparing to part with asset Harry Maguire, are in the market for a centre-back.

They are even money at the moment, ahead of Wolves.

Jarrod Bowen 20/1

Wolves are an outside bet for this man, who scored 22 goals for Hull City last season.

Arsenal have been linked with Bowen, who originally hails from Leominster, while Southampton are at the top of this list.

Hull are expected to lose their star man this summer.

Ryan Sessegnon - 40/1

The left wing back is likely to leave Fulham after the Cottagers suffered relegation back to the Championship after a single campaign in the top flight.

The teenager did impress in spells, and he’s been linked heavily with Spurs, who are odds on to snap him up.

Wolves, Everton and Leicester - all likely to be challenging one another in the top half next term - are 33-1 or longer.

Wilfried Zaha - 40/1

Similarly to Sessegnon, the queue for Zaha is a long one. Arsenal are the consistent names when it comes to Zaha and a potential move away from Crystal Palace.

The Ivory Coast international, who enjoyed a sublime year under Roy Hodgson, would cost a pretty penny.

Ryan Fraser - 25/1

The diminutive Scot enjoyed a sterling season with Bournemouth and has admirers in the top four.

There have been reports recently that Helder Costa, Ivan Cavaleiro and Adama Traore all carry question marks over their futures.

As Wolves plan to flesh out their playing squad, there is the potential for new wide options.

Cristiano Ronaldo - 20/1

Get on the phone, Uncle Jorge!

As he winds down his career, Cristiano Ronaldo won’t be short on options. China, the MLS, PSG, Manchester United...

Maybe it’s the Mendes link, but the fact that you can get odds on Wolves to be the superstar’s next club speaks volumes for their progress.

Yannick Carrasco 25/1

Belgium international Carrasco is currently playing out in China for Dalian Yifang - Rafa Benitez's new team - but seems destined for the Premier League.

The midfielder is 1/9 to join Arsenal as Unai Emery looks to add quality to his midfield, and Manchester United and Tottenham also feature ahead of Wolves, who are 25/1.

Aaron Mooy 20/1

Australian international Mooy is almost certain to leave Huddersfield Town after their relegation from the Premier League.

The midfielder, who scored a brace as they won at Molineux last year, is expected to have offers from remaining top flight clubs.

Newly promoted Norwich as it stands are the favourites, while Watford, West Ham and Leicester are all ahead of Wolves. Crystal Palace and Newcastle are among the other sides listed as potential destinations.

Bruno Fernandes 40/1

Perhaps one of the bigger names on this list.

Fernandes, 24, plays for Sporting Lisbon and is now a full Portugal international. Wolves are in incredible company on this particular list.

It does seem to be a three-horse race between Manchester United and Liverpool, however; the Red Devils are the short-priced favourites.

Memphis Depay 8/1

Remembered by many in this country for his spell as a flop at Manchester United, Depay has rebuilt his career in France.

The Dutchman left Old Trafford for Lyon in 2017 and he's just shy of 40 goals in 115 appearances in Ligue 1.

Liverpool are the 2/1 favourites, but at 8/1 Wolves sit just behind them.

Sergej Milinkovic-Savic 16/1

Serbian international Milinkovic-Savic plies his trade in Serie A with Lazio.

The "Paul Pogba of Serbia" has offered up some very impressive displays during his four-year stay in Rome, and he tends to be linked with a move to one of Europe's higher profile leagues each summer.

Wolves make up a list with Manchester United, Juventus and PSG, but it's the French side who are the odds-on favourites.

Salomon Rondon - 6/1

The services of Rondon are in demand across the division.

The Albion striker was Newcastle’s player of the year last term, but their failure to snap him up quickly has encouraged Wolves and West Ham in their own respective pursuits.

Would cost £16.5m. Wolves are second favourites behind West Ham.

Asmir Begovic - 10/1

The Bournemouth keeper is destined for the exit as the Cherries chase a new number one.

Begovic is being tipped to return to Stoke City, a move that would free up Jack Butland to complete a move back to the top flight.

It’s strange that Wolves would even be considered for a goalkeeper transfer; Rui Patricio, John Ruddy and Will Norris have all been praised by Nuno this past season.

Kalvin Phillips 25/1

Leeds United midfielder Phillips was excellent under the tutelage of Marcelo Bielsa at Elland Road last summer.

So when the Whites fell to Derby in the play-offs, interest from the top flight was going to be inevitable.

Incidentally, the winners of the play-offs, Aston Villa, are the team who are the overwhelming favourites.

Kieran Trippier 33/1

It seems likely that Trippier will be moved on by Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino this summer, and he could go abroad.

The England right-back, who hasn’t been able to replicate his World Cup form for Spurs domestically this term, is odds on to move to Juventus

Wolves are on par with Roma, while Everton and Marseille also feature on the list.
