Arsenal, Newcastle and Chelsea All have previously been linked with a move to sign the Brazilian, while Nottingham Forest have now joined the race tooAlthough Pereira highly values the striker, his immediate future remains unclear ahead of the final days of the window.
On the pitch, Wolves remain above the relegation zone on goal difference, but have conceded the most goals in the Premier League so far and lost all three of their Premier League matches in January, despite beating Bristol City in the Premier League. The third round of the cup.
