Vito Pereira time is Wolves There has been some success so far. It’s been a terrible start to the season for Laos, who find themselves in the relegation zone for much of the 2024/25 Premier League season.

However, their new manager Andreas Pereira turned around a season that seemed destined for relegation. His team won two games, drew one and lost one During his term of office to datethe best performance can be said to be the 2-0 victory over Manchester United.

The entire Wolves team seems to have rejuvenated since Pereira took over. Goncalo Guedes is one of the payers who seems to be getting a new lease of life.

Gerdes 2024/25 season

Things are a bit complicated for Gerdes so far In the 2024/25 election campaign. Under former head coach Gary O’Neill, he was a bit of a role player and didn’t really get many opportunities from the start. Having said that, his Premier League record this season under the former Wolves boss has been good, with four goals and an assist.

Under new Lao Jin coach Pereira, who like Guedes is from Portugal, he started three of the four games and played one as a substitute.

In his first game as manager, Guedes scored and assisted in a 3-0 away win over Leicester City. He has two goals and four assists in 17 games this season.

The former Barcelona star struggled in Wolves’ latest game against Nottingham Forest at Molineux and showed his form under O’Neill.

He gets 5/10 From Birmingham World reporter Charlie Haffenden. He was critical of the fact that Guedes conceded the goal before Forest’s opener, scored by Morgan Gibbs-White.

With this inconsistency in Guedes, Pereira may be concerned that he will need his players to stay in good form for longer. The Portuguese coach is likely to want to bring in a new player as one of the number 10 players, who may be able to replace Guedes in the long term.

They’ve been linked with a player who could be the answer.

Wolves’ dream replacement for Gerd

The player in question here is the Newcastle United star Miguel Almiron. as reported earlier this weekThe Old Gold side are one of three Premier League clubs with a chance to sign him this winter.

They are likely to face competition from top-flight sides Crystal Palace and Leicester City for his signature. In terms of the Paraguayan winger’s worth, he could be worth as much as £21 million in January.

There’s an argument to be made that Almiron won’t be much of an improvement over Guedes, given that Guedes has yet to score or assist this season. Appeared 11 times in the Premier League. Eddie Howe has only played 136 minutes for him in the top flight this season.

Having said that, there is clear evidence that Almiron can break out in the Premier League given the chance. The Paraguayan forward has scored 11 goals and provided 2 assists in 34 games Spanning one season, 2022/23.

This far exceeds Guedes’ best season in England’s top flight, which saw him score six goals this season. Statistically, comparing two seasons by squakathey are actually very similar.

In terms of goals per 90 minutes, the two are tied at 0.4. However, Almiron’s dribbling ability is outstanding. In the 2022.23 season, he averaged 1.4 catches per game, while Guedes averaged 0.6 catches per game this season. The Newcastle star also averages more receptions, at five, compared to the Old Gold attacker’s 3.6.

Maybe add Almiron to the lineup to eventually replace Guedes – Guedes vs. Exit in January This will add more attacking threat to Wolves in recent months. As football statistician Statman Dave puts ithe can become a “minority defender”.

While their goals per game numbers are close, the Paraguayan can continue to achieve great results, as he has shown before.

For £21m, it seems like a very smart investment to help Wolves get over the hump and move forward into the new season under Pereira.
