Cesar Peixoto says Wolves are working to find the right solutions as they trim and rebalance a large squad, with Championship homegrown quotas slowing recent transfer work.

According to ExpressAndStar.com, Hwang Hee-chan, Sasa Kalajdzic, Ki-Jana Hoever and Enso Gonzalez are training away from the first-team group ahead of moves away, and further senior departures remain possible. Wolves are keen on Rennes midfielder Jordan James, though Peixoto says he must manage the squad to ensure the right final decisions.

He said the club must handle existing contracts carefully and act in the right way for the team and players, adding he wants the squad closed soon while they make measured choices.

Peixoto added that the homegrown quota is under control and will stay as it is for the start of the Championship, describing it as no problem. He pointed to a later World Cup influencing the market, and believes the right signings and exits will happen at the right moment.

Wolves want a midfielder and a winger to bolster competition, amid concern they are light out wide. Boubacar Traore could be sold, and the futures of Ladislav Krejci and Santi Bueno remain unclear.

The goalkeeping picture is unresolved. Jose Sa and Sam Johnstone are expected to leave but there have been no serious offers, and a new number one depends on departures.

Peixoto is confident arrivals are close. He said he has the board’s confidence, and that any additions must raise the level rather than make up numbers, with the Championship starting now.
