ESPN commentator Mario Marra has shared a promising Wolves transfer update on their plans after sealing the signing of Brazilian forward Matheus Cunha.

The Lowdown: Lopetegui set for backing...

In their bid to remain in the Premier League, club owners Fosun International and the Molineux board will back new manager Julen Lopetegui with funds in January.

Reports claim that discussions have even been held with up to 15 players as they target at least six new signings overall for next month.

The Old Gold are currently bottom of England's top flight, having scored the least goals of any side in the division, putting them in real danger of relegation.

The Latest: Marra shares promising Wolves update...

Taking to Twitter, Marra has now claimed that Wolves could be set to strengthen in one position after Cunha at least.

He says that a 'defender should also arrive' following the transfer capture of Atletico's striker.

Marra explained:

"Wolves yet. Local press claims that the first signing, albeit on loan, of the Lopetegui era will be Matheus Cunha. The club's management took a while, but realized that they will need to hire. A defender should also arrive."

The Verdict: Get it done...

The likes of Felipe and Aaron Wan-Bissaka are being repeatedly linked with moves to Wolves - so that could certainly be Lopetegui's next priority.

Wolves have also conceded 12 goals in their last five league matches, backing the fact they could need to shore up what has been a leaky backline.

Getting this next signing right will be key to Lopetegui as the former Europa League winner seeks to keep his new team in the big time.
