Besiktas are yet to meet Wolves' £17m asking price for Emmanuel Agbadou.

The Turkish side's latest offer sits around £13m with Wolves holding firm on their valuation of the defender.

Wolves are bottom of the Premier League and 14 points from safety as they start to reshape the squad under Rob Edwards, ahead of an expected relegation to the Championship.

Ivory Coast international Agbadou, who has made 34 appearances, only moved to Molineux from Reims for £16.6m last January and was key to their revival in the second half of last season under Vitor Pereira.

They finished 16th in the Premier League but a disastrous start to this campaign, failing to win any of their opening 19 games, has left Wolves facing relegation.

Pereira was sacked in November and replacement Edwards lost his opening seven games but Wolves are now unbeaten in five in all competitions and into the FA Cup fourth round.

Agbadou was on the bench for Sunday's 0-0 draw with Newcastle after returning from the Africa Cup of Nations, with Ivory Coast failing to defend their title after a quarter final exit to Egypt.

Wolves are also willing to sell striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, who is interesting Nottingham Forest and Leeds, but after initial enquiries there are yet to be further developments.

Midfielder Joao Gomes is willing to stay until the summer. Atletico Madrid and Napoli are keen and Wolves would still be open to letting the Brazil international leave.

Wolves have discussed the conditions required to sign FC Basel winger Philip Otele in January.

The 26-year-old is keen on a move to the Premier League, and personal terms are not expected to be an issue despite reported interest from both Celtic and Lazio.

Basel are asking for around £7m but Wolves have explored a loan‑with‑option structure that would include a loan fee.

For Wolves, any move could depend on player sales in a highly uncertain transfer window, with relegation to the Championship looking almost certain despite a recent uptick in form.

Otele has scored 17 goals and registered seven assists in 51 appearances since joining the reigning Swiss Super League champions last season.

The Premier League's Key Match Incidents (KMI) Panel has unanimously voted it was correct that Hwang Hee-Chan was not sent off in the 1-1 draw with Everton earlier this month.

The Wolves forward was booked by referee Tom Kirk in the 76th minute after catching Harrison Armstrong on the calf with a high challenge.

Everton boss David Moyes was also angered that Michael Keane was dismissed for pulling the hair of Tolu Arokodare in the 80th minute. The KMI Panel voted 5-0 in favour of the red card.

Moyes said after the game: "What Michael Keane did was a three-game ban and a sending off, but [the challenge on Armstrong] was a nothing in the game and not recognised either by the VAR or the referee. It sounds like they've got all their things in the wrong places at the moment."

The KMI Panel said that while "the point of contact was high, there was a lack of force and intensity" and that it "supported the referee's call of a yellow card".

It added that Keane's actions were violent conduct and "not a legitimate part of a challenge for the ball".

Jack Grealish was later sent off for a second bookable offence after sarcastically clapping the referee. This was supported 4-1 by the panel.

"With hindsight, it was never ever going to be a very quick fix," said Rob Edwards, deftly walking the line between honesty and diplomacy.

Whether it really did require hindsight to establish that is now irrelevant, because at Molineux on Sunday it was again possible - and pleasurable - to feel the sense of a team moving, albeit slowly, forward.

That was literally true on the field on Sunday. For some time at the start, Wolves were content to watch Newcastle shuffle about in front of them, moving the ball from one side of the field to the other and back.

Having established that they could largely handle this, save for a few crosses Nick Woltemade failed to convert while fending off hassle from Santiago Bueno, Wolves dared to push forward a little more often.

This was progress, even in the light of better performances, mostly away from home, over the last month. Yes, Wolves won well against a limp West Ham and overwhelmed Shrewsbury, but now they were comfortable, if not particularly fluent, against a Champions League side - at home.

At the bottom of their curve, Wolves were a pitiable sight in front of their own fans, seemingly fearful of doing almost anything as their supporters raged at the club, the players, the league, everyone. Playing anywhere else, away from all that, must have been a little easier. Now, there is less flight, more fight.

"They're willing to put their bodies on the line, block and head it and tackle and run hard," said Edwards. "Maybe these are some of the things that, because of a lack of confidence and belief, you don't quite get for whatever reason. But they're human, not magnets on a tactics board or robots."

Even at their worst, it was unfair to say that Wolves weren't trying hard. But as in any workplace, it must be easier to focus your efforts if you have confidence and belief in what you're doing. Maybe that's the difference.

"I know they're Premier League footballers," Edwards went on, "they'll get paid well and all that, but the fact is they're human beings. You can feel bad and lack confidence and that can certainly affect performance. At the moment, we're starting to feel better about ourselves, and performances are improving."

The toxic cycle - bad performance creating bad atmosphere leading to worse performance - is now in reverse.

A bond between the fans and the team, if not yet the whole club, has begun to renew. Perhaps that's all there will be to take from the rest of this Premier League season. But it's not nothing.

We asked for your views on Wolves' current position at the bottom of the Premier League, despite a recent improvement in their results and performances under Rob Edwards.

Here are some of your comments:

Mike: Sadly, I hate to say it but it's too little too late. We are down. I hope the board and owners show some faith in the squad and Edwards and look at coming straight back up next season. Let's just get behind the lads and try to enjoy what's left. Forever Wolves.

Lee: It's looking like Championship football next year but let's stick with Rob Edwards and give him a chance of building a team.

Clive: Wolves' outstanding problem is still Fosun. They may have changed the top guy but still no investment on players they seriously need.

Performances on the pitch have improved but new Premier League-experienced players are needed now.

Joe: Edwards has installed stability, but we need to get a few wins. Get ready for the Championship.

Nigel: All the analysis reflects what is happening on the pitch. We no longer press high up, we concede acres of pitch to the attacker, we don't create many chances and our overall approach is not conservative. Unfortunately drawing all our remaining games will not save us. Edwards has already conceded we will be relegated and has opted for damage limitation. I want my season ticket money back!

Wolves remain bottom of the Premier League, but the numbers suggest their performances under Rob Edwards have moved in a more sustainable direction than those produced earlier in the season under Vitor Pereira.

Results have not yet caught up with the process, but the data shows a side that is more controlled, more purposeful and harder to beat.

Starting with the basics, Wolves have scored eight goals in 11 league games under Edwards, compared to seven in 10 under Pereira. That marginal increase is backed up by expected goals, which have risen from 9.5 to 10.4.

On a per-game basis, the difference is small, but it points to consistency rather than reliance on low-probability moments.

More telling is how Wolves are creating chances. Under Edwards, shot conversion has improved from 6.9% to 8.7%, while big chances have jumped from nine to 15.

Wolves are not shooting more often - they are shooting better. That suggests clearer attacking structures and improved decision-making in the final third, even if the overall volume of shots remains modest.

The stylistic shift is reinforced by possession metrics. Passes per sequence have dropped from 3.4 to 3.1, and Wolves are spending less time recycling the ball.

Instead, Edwards' team are more direct and deliberate, focusing on getting into threatening areas quicker rather than controlling games through possession. Build-up attacks that end in a shot or a box touch have increased from 10 to 12, another indicator of more purposeful progression.

Defensively, the improvement is sharper. Wolves have conceded 16 goals under Edwards, compared to 22 under Pereira, despite facing more shots overall (146 vs 126). That combination suggests Wolves are allowing opponents' attempts from less dangerous areas and managing games more effectively once they fall into a defensive shape.

The pressing data helps explain why. PPDA [Opposition Passes Allowed per Defensive Action] has risen from 10.4 to 13.4, indicating Wolves are pressing less aggressively high up the pitch. But their average start distance has dropped from 41.2 metres to 39.4, meaning defensive sequences are beginning closer to their own goal.

In practice, Wolves are sitting slightly deeper, compressing space and forcing teams to work harder for high-quality chances rather than engaging in risky, disjointed pressing.

High turnovers have also fallen from 67 to 61, reflecting a move away from chaotic transitional football. Wolves are conceding territory more willingly, but in exchange, they are more compact and less exposed.

The concern remains big chances conceded, which have risen from 19 to 24. That highlights where Wolves must improve if progress is to translate into points. But taken together, the numbers show a team with a clearer identity, creating better chances at both ends of the pitch, and a tactical structure that makes sense for a side fighting at the bottom.

So, what do you think about the current situation, Wolves fans?

The table still has Wolves rock bottom, and that is the hard truth. But after Sunday's 0-0 draw with Newcastle, it finally feels like this team knows what it is doing.

This was not a lucky point. It was earned. Newcastle came to Molineux as a Champions League side with quality all over the pitch, and yet they barely laid a glove on Wolves for most of the match. They did not even manage a shot on target until late on. That tells you everything about how solid Wolves were. Organised. Disciplined. Full of players fighting for the shirt.

For the first time in a long while, Wolves look hard to play against again. The shape stayed tight. Players backed each other up. Bodies went in the way. There was no panic and no hiding. Just graft, focus and a clear plan. You can see an identity forming, and you can feel the belief growing.

Five games unbeaten does not happen by accident, even if the performances are not always pretty.

Jose Sa stood tall when he needed to, and the backline refused to budge. That is the platform every team needs. Wolves may not have created enough to win it, but they matched Newcastle for work-rate and concentration, and they kept their standards for the full game.

The frustrating part is obvious. If Wolves had shown this level of organisation and discipline at the start of the season, we would not be stuck on eight points and staring at the Championship.

Too many matches earlier in the campaign were lost through sloppy defending, soft moments and a lack of structure. Those dropped points have left us with a mountain to climb.

Is it too late to save the season? Maybe.

But this feels different under Rob Edwards. He is getting the basics right, and he is getting players to buy in.

If this is the standard going forward, it bodes well for next season, whatever league we are in. Wolves fans can finally see something worth backing.

We asked for your thoughts after Saturday's Premier League game between Wolves and Newcastle.

Here are some of your comments:

Wolves fans

Will: We've certainly turned a corner. We are back to being competitive. Newcastle are a Champions League level team, so it's a good point and a fair result because the game was 50-50 . We look less error prone in defence and we now carry the attacking threat that was missing previously. It is largely down to Tolu Arokodare being fitter and the introduction of Mateus Mane. This has meant that Jhon Arias and Hwang Hee-chan have improved too. The damage has been done in the first half of the season but it looks like we will get some points during the rest of the season and maybe a cup run if we are lucky.

David: A workmanlike performance, just lacking a bit of composure with some straightforward passes going astray. But, we're proving to be more resilient and hard to beat than before Rob Edwards' arrival.

Chris: I like Edwards... but I don't know for the life of me why Jorgen Strand Larsen did not play the whole match. He obviously has a rapport with Mane. We could have won that match. Larsen has deft touches that the brawny midfielders do not have and it was he who threaded the pass to Mane to equalise at Everton. Larsen + Mane = perfect duo.

Jan: They're more organised and a bit more confident. The main target is not to go down with the lowest ever Premier League points tally.

Newcastle fans

Richard: Decided lack of quality from Newcastle. With the exception of Harvey Barnes, all our attacking options are off form. Credit to Wolves, who will take points off a lot of teams before the end of the season, but really we ought to be winning these games by the odd goal. This whole season is just us falling short everywhere.

Wayne: Starting to sound like a broken record here but it's Groundhog Day on the road. An absolutely appalling performance which took until the 85th minute before a shot on target and it was a very disappointing attacking display. Yoane Wissa, Nick Woltemade and Anthony Elanga just don't look like they are the right fit for our team and they haven't done enough from an attacking point. Eddie Howe needs to get something to change or we are in danger of finishing mid-table at best.

Davy: Toothless and pathetic. We are going backwards and are a million miles (and £1bn) away from being anywhere near a top team. Too many players are simply not good enough. The summer will see an exodus of class players to teams that will challenge for league titles and the Champions League. The owners don't know what to do. There are no plans for the stadium or training ground. No plan B when games are not going our way and coaches never change a game. Clear out and start again.

Graeme: Howe's position now needs sorting. He's keeping his job because of Champions League and cup runs. We seriously need a change.

Wolves boss Rob Edwards, speaking to BBC Match of the Day after the 0-0 draw with Newcastle: "A really solid performance, really committed and we showed a lot of spirit. Newcastle are obviously a very good team.

"I thought without the ball we had lots of control. When we had to attack we did, we looked a threat on the counter-attack.

"It was a really committed performance. People will look at results and think it has clicked all of a sudden, but performances were there before that.

"They have got very good players but overall the game went how we expected it to. I am really pleased with the clean sheet, we don't give much away.

"We are not there yet, we understand there is a lot of work still. The boys are with it, the crowd were with us all throughout the game.

"We are making some good steps forward."

This is a tough one to call because Wolves will feel like they have a little bit of momentum at last, while I am wondering where Newcastle will get their energy from - and how many fit players they have got left.

Wolves are three games unbeaten in the league, including their first win of the season against West Ham, and they even looked like they were enjoying themselves when they beat Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup - that has not happened very often at Molineux recently.

Newcastle have got a few players out, with Jacob Murphy the latest to be injured in their Carabao Cup defeat by Manchester City in midweek.

Eddie Howe's side have climbed to sixth on the back of three straight league wins, but after this they have a huge Champions League game with PSV Eindhoven on Wednesday - so it will be interesting to see what team he picks here.

Every game is important for Newcastle, but Howe will need to rest some players at some point. If he does it here, it could cost them. I've changed my mind a few times about the outcome of this one, but I am going to go for a draw.

Sutton's prediction: 1-1

Newcastle United will be out to improve their poor Premier League away record on Sunday but need to tame an improving Wolves.

Newcastle had won four in a row before their 2-0 Carabao Cup semi-final first-leg loss to Manchester City on Tuesday. Back-to-back Premier League victories over Burnley and Leeds propelled them into sixth spot after 21 games.

Mane spearheading Wolves revival

Wolves still have a mountain to climb if they're to avoid relegation – they are 14 points away from safety – although they have made noticeable progress under Rob Edward. A 6-1 win over Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup made it four unbeaten in all competitions.

While some shrewd tactical tweaks by Edwards have steadied Wolves, Mateus Mane establishing himself as a first-team player has been transformative to their fortunes.

The 18-year-old was on the bench for the FA Cup win, which probably indicates his new-found importance to their league campaign. He has started the past four Premier League games and scored in the last two in a row.

He is looking to become the latest player aged 18 and under to score in three consecutive Premier League games, a feat achieved by Michael Owen (twice, 1997 and 1998), Danny Cadamarteri (1997), Francis Jeffers (1999) and Mason Greenwood (2020).

While other teams have toiled after a heavy festive schedule, Wolves have played with a freshness in their last four games. Only Chelsea have made more changes to their starting XI this season (66) than the Molineux outfit, with Joao Gomes the only player in the squad to have started more than 18 games.

Newcastle on road to ruin?

Wolves are still bottom of the table though and for Newcastle this match represents a fine chance to improve their woes on the road. They have won just two Premier League away games all season and there are parts of the team still lacking balance.

Star forward Nick Woltemade has not scored in his last six appearances since the brace against Chelsea. The German has only started three of the last seven games in all competitions too, with Howe now able to call on the fully fit Yoane Wissa.

Newcastle, given their European commitments, are also feeling the wear and tear of the season. Tino Livramento is the latest first-team player in the treatment room after he suffered a hamstring problem in the FA Cup win over Bournemouth; Howe is without six other senior players this weekend.

These injury problems align with the physicality Newcastle play with. They have made 857 recovery runs – running back from the opposition half to their own to regain their defensive position – which is more than any other Premier League team. Joelinton has made 83 alone.

Leeds have enquired about buying Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

The Elland Road side have been quoted £40m for the Norway international but are yet to make a firm bid.

BBC Sport has been told the club's profit and sustainability considerations, and with other clubs interested, may make any deal complicated.

Leeds, 16th in the Premier League, have already signed Brighton attacker Facundo Buonanotte on loan this week.

West Ham have previously asked about Strand Larsen but backed off because of Wolves' asking price, while Nottingham Forest have him on their list of targets.

Strand Larsen has scored six goals this season, including a hat-trick in Saturday's 6-1 FA Cup win over Shrewsbury.

But he has netted just once in the Premier League - a penalty against Burnley in October - leading to some fans turning on the 26-year-old.

He scored 14 goals last season after joining on loan from Celta Vigo before making the move permanent for £23m in the summer.

Newcastle had bids rejected for him in the summer and he signed a new five-year deal in September but Wolves are open to letting him leave, with Wolves bottom of the Premier League and expected to be relegated.

Rob Edwards is looking to reshape his squad but Joao Gomes could still stay at Molineux this month, despite interest from Atletico Madrid and Napoli.

The midfielder is prepared to wait until the summer, with Serie A side Napoli believed to be frontrunners, although Wolves still remain open to letting the Brazil international leave if there is an acceptable offer.

Flora Snelson
BBC Sport journalist

Wolves boss Rob Edwards has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Newcastle at Molineux (kick-off 14:00 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• Emmanuel Agbadou is back from Afcon and available for selection, while Tawanda Chirewa has been ill so has not trained this week.

• Edwards on the "good feeling" in the squad: "We're in a difficult position but you've still got to enjoy coming to work, people are allowed to smile and laugh." His message for players is to continue to progress "slowly, but surely".

• On the "complex" January window: "If certain players are to go, we dictate that - then, we'll look at where we can add. We're always thinking about the jigsaw puzzle and making sure we have a good balance when the window closes. "

• He added: "There's a lot of lads around who want to right some of the wrongs, and want to help the club and do well for themselves and for the football club as well. They are genuinely all committed - which isn't to say no one is going to go - but it's not like people are banging the door down or trying to force anything."

• Edwards said that "attitude, ability and athleticism" are the three key factors when considering new additions.

• On Marshall Munetsi's loan move to Paris FC: "He's a great guy. It's the right thing for him, with the numbers in that midfield area, and it's the right thing for the football club as well."

• On transfer speculation around defender Agbadou and midfielder Joao Gomes: "They're here and they're committed. We'll treat everything on an individual basis."

• Edwards is looking forward to a "really difficult" but "exciting" game against Newcastle.

• On strikers Jorgen Strand Larsen and Tolu Arokodare: "They can play together and be effective. It's important the people don't think 'it's him or him'."

Wolves midfielder Marshall Munetsi has completed his loan move to Paris FC for the rest of the season.

The 29-year-old has been allowed to leave by boss Rob Edwards, although there is no option for the Ligue 1 side to buy him.

Edwards and the club have opted to let Munetsi go as he does not fit well enough into the head coach's system and his playing time would have been limited with the emergence of Mateus Mane.

Allowing him to move on loan also enables the midfielder to maintain his value and gives Wolves a better option to sell him at the right time, most likely in the summer, as they brace themselves for relegation to the Championship with the side bottom of the Premier League.

He has started just once under Edwards, the 2-0 defeat by Crystal Palace in November, which was his first game in charge.

Munetsi started 12 times in the second half of last season under Vitor Pereira to help Wolves finish 16th.

He moved to Molineux for £16m from Reims last February and has made 31 appearances, scoring four goals, with his most recent strike coming in October's 3-2 home defeat by Burnley.

Paris FC are 15th in Ligue 1 but beat neighbours Paris St-Germain 1-0 in the Coupe de France on Monday.

Wolves are yet to have any formal contact from Atletico Madrid or Nottingham Forest for Joao Gomes and Jorgen Strand Larsen.

There is an expectation at Molineux their resolve will be tested in the next two weeks but they are willing to remain firm to get the best price, if they sanction exits.

Wolves are aware of Atletico's interest in midfielder Gomes as they look to replace Conor Gallagher after his £35m move to Tottenham this week.

Gomes moved to Molineux from Flamengo in 2023 and has made 113 appearances, scoring seven times.

The 24-year-old has not played for Brazil for almost a year and needs to revive his international career going into the summer's World Cup.

He signed a five-year contract in April, leaving Wolves in a strong bargaining position despite sitting bottom of the Premier League.

Forest have Strand Larsen on their list of targets and any move for him would need to break their transfer record, set by Omari Hutchinson's £37.5m arrival from Ipswich in the summer.

But, like Gomes, there is yet to be contact between the clubs although Wolves remain braced for offers.

Strand Larsen, who joined from Celta Vigo initially on loan in 2024, scored a hat-trick in Saturday's 6-1 FA Cup win over Shrewsbury but has netted just once in the Premier League this season.

He penned a five-year deal in September after scoring 14 times last season but Wolves are willing to sell having rejected bids from Newcastle in the summer.
