Wolves have now lost to Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Chelsea and Arsenal in their last four Premier League matches. Despite the defeat against Arsenal. Pereira was not very disappointed with his team's performance. Pereira said after the match: “At the end of the game, I'm telling you we missed a big chance to win this game because we played a very good game. In my opinion, we played a very good game.
“Tactically, committed and energy-wise, we did everything we could to win the match. What we missed was scoring one goal. We had two chances before they scored, and we had two clear chances to score the first goal. After the player’s yellow card.” “Joao, they scored one goal, we didn't.”
It has been a quiet transfer window so far for the Old Gold, as they have brought in just one new signing, despite the fact that they have been sitting at the bottom of the table for the majority of the season. Defender Emmanuel Agbadu joined Wolves earlier this transfer window from Stade Reims, and Pereira is expected to want to add to this signing, following the defeat to Arsenal.
Wolves are working to sign another new defender for Pereira
In fact, the Premier League side are working on another transfer, according to Football Insider journalist Pete O'Rourke. Wolves are looking to sign a new defender before the transfer window closes On February 3.
The report claims that Pereira is keen to strengthen his defensive line this month, despite the arrival of Agbado. Perhaps unsurprisingly, signing a new defender was at the top of Wolves' agenda, as they have made a move Second highest number of goals in the leaguewith bottom-of-the-table Southampton only conceding more.
Wolves currently have Totti, Santiago Bueno, Wersson Mosquera, Bastien Meubio, Craig Dawson and of course Agbado as options at centre-back. However, Mosquera is currently out with injury, and Pereira appears keen to add more competition at centre-back, as he still has a lot of work to do to keep his side above that dotted line.
It is not clear whether the signing of another defender will be via loan or a permanent transfer, but either way, Pereira clearly sees this as a must, as while they have scored 32 goals, they have also conceded 52.
