Wolves won’t be signing Jason Denayer

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly turned down the prospect to signal Jason Denayer on a free switch which may show to be Bruno Lage’s largest mistake as supervisor.

What’s the phrase?

Wolves have been linked with signing the Belgium worldwide in latest weeks, with the centre-back obtainable on a free switch after leaving Olympique Lyon on the finish of final season.

Lage misplaced Romain Saiss, Willy Boly and Conor Coady through the summer time however introduced in simply Nathan Collins as a alternative, which has left the Previous Gold trying in need of centre-back choices.

After a deal for Craig Dawson fell through on deadline day, it appeared as if Denayer can be the most suitable choice for Lage, as he has Premier League and Champions League experience, and will clearly be signed after the deadline as a free-agent.

Ought to Wolves have signed Denayer?

Nevertheless, Specific and Star journalist Liam Eager has now supplied an replace on Wolves’ pursuit of Denayer on Twitter.

He said:

“Wolves have moved on from taking a look at Jason Denayer. Presently no plan to make use of the free agent market to herald a centre-back, significantly with the World Cup break quick approaching.”

Lage’s largest mistake but?

Wolves have switched to a four-at-the-back system this season and Lage clearly feels that he can address fewer centre-backs in his squad.

Whereas Max Kilman and Collins look as if they are going to be a formidable duo on the again, having earned three clean sheets within the opening six Premier League video games, Wolves may very well be in actual bother if both of these gamers had been to select up an harm.

Lage has Yerson Mosquera and Toti obtainable as backups, however neither have any actual top-flight expertise. Mosquera has simply one Wolves appearance to his title within the Carabao Cup, whereas Toti has solely made five appearances for Wolves’ senior aspect.

Contemplating Wolves’ issues in entrance of aim, with simply three goals thus far within the Premier League, they’re reliant on a powerful defence for constructive outcomes and dropping Kilman or Collins to harm may actually derail their season.

Due to this fact, not signing Denayer appears like an enormous danger on Lage’s half, and will properly be one which he involves remorse later within the season.
