Almost every member of the squad seems ready to fight for survival. However, former club captain Mario Lemina appears destined to leave the West Midlands.
Lemina 2024/25 season
It’s been a very strange season for Gabon international midfielder Lemina. He started the season as a key player for the Old Gold team and has Played 19 times in all competitions. He was club captain at the start of the season but was later stripped of that title.
In mid-December, O’Neill confirmed that the captaincy had been appointed Pass from Lemina to veteran defender Nelson Semedo.
This came after an altercation with West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen after the game at the London Stadium. O’Neill confirmed that this “sparked conversations about a change of captaincy”.
Now, the West Midlands side could be without the midfielder entirely and the situation could escalate quickly. After losing 3-0 away to Newcastle United, Lemina did not belong to Newcastle United. Pereira confirmed he Molineux “wants to leave” this month.
“With this energy and mentality, I don’t need him,” the new Wolves coach explained. It looks like the former captain will leave Molineux a month after being sacked as captain.

This must be an attractive factor for Wolves and one of the reasons why Pereira might want to sign his compatriot. Not only will they bring in Lemina’s replacement in midfield, but they’ll also bring in someone who can play left center back in a back three system.
For the Wolves, this is undoubtedly a perfect deal. Convincing Chelsea to part ways with their versatile star may be difficult, but if it’s possible, it could be a great deal for King.
