Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing for life in the Premier League having stormed to promotion in the Sky Bet Championship this season.   

Nuno Espirito Santo’s side made short work of their Championship opposition, clinching the title in style and picking up an impressive 99 points.

Ambition at Molineux is sky-high, with Wolves surely looking to make a huge impact in the Premier League.

That is likely to be reflected in who Nuno targets in the summer transfer window, with some high-profile names already linked with a move to Molineux.

One place Wolves could be scouting this summer is in Russia, who are hosting the World Cup, with the world’s best talent set to be on show.

With that in mind, we take a look at THREE players Wolves and Nuno should be keeping a watchful eye on this summer, seeing how they perform at the World Cup…

It looks like Wolves will be bringing a new goalkeeper in this summer, despite John Ruddy’s excellent form in the Championship.

Patricio has been included in Portugal’s squad and could be someone Wolves have an eye on.

Wolves’ Portuguese links would make this potential deal a real possibility.

The young Chelsea midfielder has been included in Gareth Southgate’s squad for Russia.

It remains to be seen how often Loftus-Cheek plays, but should he get a chance, Wolves should be casting an eye over him.

The midfielder might well be available on-loan again next season and could be perfect alongside Ruben Neves.

Silva is another member of Portugal’s squad that Wolves will be taking a look at.

The striker is on Wolves’ radar already and senior figures at Molineux will be desperate to see how he gets on at the World Cup.

An impressive World Cup could cause Wolves some problems in their quest to sign Silva, but they’ll still be in the hunt to sign him.
