A number of Wolves fans are excited after Molineux scouts were reportedly sent to watch Benfica's Champions League clash with Bayern Munich.

Bruno Lage's side face Leeds United in the Premier League this weekend, looking to continue their impressive recent form.

Wolves make the trip to Elland Road on Saturday afternoon having picked up three league wins in succession, against Southampton, Newcastle United and Aston Villa.

Last weekend's 3-2 victory at Villa Park, which saw Lage's men come from 2-0 late in the day, should give them enormous confidence going into the Leeds game.

It could still be that new signings arrive at Molineux in January however, with the winter window offering a chance to freshen up the squad, and according to Record [via Talking Wolves on Twitter], a Wolves scout was in attendance for the Benfica-Bayern match on Wednesday night.
