6 Wolves players who could still leave by 11pm on September 1st | OneFootball

FLW takes a look at who could still leave Wolves before the transfer window slams shut on September 1st.

Wolves have not been as active as anticipated over the course of the summer transfer window.

Kieran Trippier, Raul Jimenez, Rafiki Said and Jordan James have arrived, while Joao Gomes has been the only real Wolves star to depart.

Matt Doherty, Dan Bentley and Tolo Arokodare have also left the club, but the rebuild fans expected in the Midlands has not come to fruition.

Cesar Peixoto's side played out a 2-2 draw with relegation-tipped Blackburn on opening night, potentially providing a wake-up call heading into the final stretch of the transfer window.

With this in mind, Football League World takes a look at who could still leave ahead of the deadline at 11pm on September 1st.

Hugo Bueno

Throughout last season, Hugo Bueno was one of the few Wolves players who could hold his head high.

Following in the footsteps of Rayan Ait-Nouri was always going to be a difficult task at Molineux, but Bueno did so amicably, ensuring that David Moller Wolfe couldn't regularly displace him in the team.

As a result, he has been linked with a move away this summer, with Atletico Madrid the latest to identify the left-back, as per reports from Mundo Deportivo.

Bueno missed Wolves' opening match of the season against Blackburn through injury, and nothing suggests he is pushing for an exit, but his future is far from certain.

Hwang Hee-chan

In comparison to Bueno, Hwang Hee-chan appears much closer to an exit.

The Telegraph reported before the season opener that Wolves had made the South Korean international available for transfer alongside Boubacar Traore, Sasa Kalajdzic and Ki-Jana Hoever.

Hwang joined Wolves from RB Leipzig in 2021, and the forward has shone in moments, but has ultimately lacked consistency in Old Gold.

Neither a natural striker nor winger, Hwang has often required the perfect conditions to succeed, and these have been far from present in a side suffering at the bottom end of the Premier League.

As Wolves look to move on from that tumultuous period, the 30-year-old is likely to move on sooner rather than later.

Sasa Kalajdzic

It is hard not to feel sorry for Sasa Kalajdzic given how his career has turned out.

Following his move from VfB Stuttgart in 2022, the towering Austrian was ruled out for the entirety of the 2022/23 season after being forced off during his Wolves debut.

As a result, he has made just 16 appearances in Old Gold, scoring three times, while he suffered the third ACL injury of his career during a 2024 loan spell at Eintracht Frankfurt.

He spent last season on loan at LASK, where he registered 18 goal contributions as they won the league and cup double.

His return to fitness has put him in a stronger position, but the chances are that he could be on the way out before the window slams shut.

Ki-Jana Hoever

Having returned to Molineux following a loan spell at Sheffield United, Ki-Jana Hoever is another member of the outcast group, with little to no chance of the Dutchman featuring as part of Peixoto's squad.

Since his move from Liverpool in 2021, the right-back has been unable to build any form of consistency, both as a Wolves player and during various loan spells.

He is just 24, meaning that his career is far from over, but he has not done enough to suggest that he is at the level required to shine in the second tier, let alone for a side targeting an immediate bounce back.

As reported by John Percy, he sits alongside the aforementioned names as someone expected to leave before the September 1st deadline.

Boubacar Traore

As with many on this list, Boubacar Traore is another who has never got going at Molineux.

Arriving from Metz in 2022, the midfielder has registered just over 1,500 minutes in four years and is expected to leave before the end of the window.

The latest reports from Alan Nixon indicate that this move could be within the Championship, as Portsmouth eye a move alongside newly-promoted La Liga outfit Racing Santander, who made the trip to Molineux for a friendly earlier this summer.

Wolves supporters rate the Mali international, but the midfield ranks have often been far from the problem at the club in recent years, meaning that Traore has just failed to get regular minutes when fit.

Enso Gonzalez

Enso Gonzalez joined Wolves in 2023 and has had a tough time with injuries, while struggling to establish himself at senior level.

At 21, the Paraguayan could still have a bright future, though he has made just one appearance for the senior team in the Black Country since his 2023 move.

He needs regular football, and a move away is likely to get him that, with the Express & Star reporting that the winger could be moving on before the deadline.

The question is what could have been had it not been for an ACL injury suffered at the 2024 Olympics, but a move for Gonzalez will be the best decision Wolves can make for the youngster over the coming weeks.
