Wolves in talks to sign exciting £17m Kilman replacement
Wolverhampton Wanderers might have approached the 2024 summer transfer window with an air of frugality but Gary O’Neil and the Old Gold transfer team have worked hard to make some exciting early signings.
While the potential departure of the £60m-rated Pedro Neto hangs on the wall like an unpleasant old painting, Wolves have already strengthened with the additions of winger Rodrigo Gomes and left-back Pedro Lima, both young, both talented, both sought-after by Premier League rivals.
Whether such expenditure alludes to Neto’s upcoming sale will become clearer in the next few weeks, but given that O’Neil is still set on bolstering further positions, there is cause for positivity at Molineux.
Wolves lining up another signing
According to Dutch outlet 1908.NL, Wolves have been in contact with the representatives of Feyenoord defender Thomas Beelen, albeit not yet formally approaching the Dutch Eredivisie side.
The 23-year-old enjoyed a tremendous debut campaign under now-Liverpool head coach Arne Slot and would cost the Old Gold about £17m to prise away from Rotterdam.
Thomas Beelen’s style of play
Beelen arrived at a Feyenoord side that had just won the Eredivisie title and while he spent much of the opening half of the season as a substitute, the past few months paint a different picture, with Beelen starting 13 of Feyenoord’s final 14 league fixtures.
And he impressed too; as per Sofascore, the Dutchman completed 92% of his passes across the campaign, averaging 4.7 ballb recoveries per game and winning a whopping 73% of his ground duels.
