Wolverhampton Wanderers allegedly face an obstacle to sign new players on transfer deadline day, despite Vitor Pereira's public acknowledgement that additions are required.

Wolverhampton Wanderers reportedly face a complicated task to sign new players on transfer deadline day.

The West Midlands outfit are currently on a high having recorded a thoroughly-deserved 2-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday evening.

However, with the club remaining just two points clear of the relegation zone, Vitor Pereira has made no secret of wanting to add fresh faces to his squad.

Emmanuel Agbadou has already arrived from Reims, but Pereira is eager to sign at least one more centre-back and central midfielder before close of business on Monday.

According to the Express & Star, it may not be a smooth task to acquiring their desired targets over the next 24 hours or so.

What transfer obstacle is facing Wolves?

The report highlights that Wolves have no more spots available in their squad to accommodate another non-homegrown player.

Yerson Mosquera, who is sidelined with a serious knee injury, has already been withdrawn in order to register Agbadou, and outgoings are required to free up more space.

That remains plausible, however, with Wolves eager to part ways with Mario Lemina with the midfielder known to want to leave Molineux.

Wolves may also want to use a place in the squad for Sasa Kalajdzic, who is closing in on a return from a serious knee injury.

Although Carlos Forbs has been linked with a return to Ajax, it remains to be seen whether Wolves will be prepared to facilitate the end of his loan stint if another winger is not found.

Who could Wolves target?

The report adds that Burnley midfielder Josh Brownhill has emerged as someone who could join Wolves, that ticking the necessary homegrown box.

Despite playing a key role for the Clarets with nine goals and four assists in the Championship, the 29-year-old's contract expires at the end of the season.

Burnley face being left with a decision over whether they wish to cash in on his signature or deem using the player for the remainder of the campaign more beneficial.
