Wolverhampton Wanderers are on a mission to reach the Premier League and their summer spending spree has really paid dividends for the West Midlands-based club who currently lead the way in the Sky Bet Championship.

Portuguese boss Nuno Espírito Santo has surpassed expectations already and supporters of Wolves would probably have settled for a tilt at the play-offs before a ball had been kicked in the 2017/18 campaign, especially given their failings of last season under Paul Lambert.

A couple more wins should be enough to bring Premier League football to Molineux next season and the manager's attentions will soon be turning towards the summer transfer window.

With many new recruits likely to walk through the entrance door during the summer, there is every reason to believe that some players might depart. Football League World writer Lee Clarke looks at two players who could spark a summer clear-out at Wolves...

The central defender has only played a small part in Wolves' meteoric rise up the Championship and he may leave during the summer in order to secure more frequent first-team football.

The 27-year-old has been a loyal servant to Wolves and very few supporters would begrudge him the opportunity to continue his playing career elsewhere.

The right-back has been a solid performer for Wolves during the current campaign but the jury remains out on whether or not he would be able to cope with the demands of the Premier League.

The 26-year-old has been virtually ever-present for Wolves this season so any decision to offload the player won't be taken lightly, but question marks must be raised on whether or not the club could lure a right-back with Premier League experience to bolster their defensive ranks.
