Reims centre-back Emmanuel Agbadou completed his Wolves medical yesterday and they are now waiting on his visa getting sorted.
Once that is done he will fly to England. Deal expected to be done fairly soon and hopeful he could be available for the FA Cup at the weekend.

Hope they get a striker in Strand Larsen is so slow and frustrating to watch need another striker with pace to play alongside Cuhna

Workshop - Larsen has done as well as most strikers in their first year in the prem. Cunha and Isak spring to mind who turned it on after a quiet first year. Give the lad a chance. He holds the ball up well and is a handful. You could see last night that if we put a few decent balls in the box he is able to get on to them. He is still learning
Man U, Chelsea Arsenal and Liverpool have all struggled to bring in a striker that can make an impact in the Prem. Lowly Wolves on a lesser budget by far have made a decent fist of it.
Too many on here are too negative too easily and too often. If you call yourself a supporter then I believe you should support.

Larsen is fine alongside Cunha, he holds up the ball and gives defenders something to think about.
Give the lad time.

Totally agree. JSL has great movement, physical, and let's face it he wasn't signed to be quick

When he first came in I was of a similar view - i.e. he is too slow and cumbersome for the Prem but I do believe he has, (and will continue to), improved his all round play markedly.
I actually don't think he is as slow as he first appeared and seems to time his runs quite well.
Given all the problems in the squad, and they are many and deep, Larsen is probably one of a very few - see thread on Banter page- that I think we can rely on to be a Prem quality player next season.
For me whilst I would love to improve squad depth, with an alternative to Larsen, ( assuming Sasa isn't that?), at the moment we are still short in the first xi and need at least one more CB and another 10/wf to play alongside Cunha behind/off/alongside Larsen depending on the offensive formation we are playing before looking at that luxury!

Larsen 7 goals 2 assists in 20 games first season, that's a 35% strike rate, not many get to much above that these days at Prem level.
