Wolverhampton Wanderers supporters could not contain their excitement after an interview segment with Jeff Shi was shared by Tim Spiers.
On Thursday afternoon The Athletic journalist, Spiers, tweeted the quotes from a segment of an interview with Wolves’ executive chairman, Shi.
The quotation revealed that there will be some movement for the Old Gold in the January transfer window and supporters were beside themselves with excitement over the prospect of new players.

Shi has been in place as the club’s executive chairman since Fosun International took over the midlands club in July 2016 for £45 million (per BBC).
With Wolves plying their trade in the Europa League this term, perhaps a couple of additions wouldn’t go a miss.
Indeed, the latest update suggests that Fosun are willing to spend in January, which left fans dreaming of who Nuno Espirito Santo would be targetting.
Both will be pretty expensive. Tah has interest from Liverpool arsenal Chelsea spurs etc so I think he will be more expensive.

He’s not Portuguese. I’ll take CR7 though

top class center back, midfielder, striker is minimum what’s required.

Could be a tipping point on so many levels… Fosun, Nuno, our ambition…

What do we think?
Having shifted a whopping £87.3 million on transfers over the summer (per Transfermarkt), although some were just making loan moves permanent (via Wolves), it was not as though Fosun International did not spend big.
However, with Wolves’ much-talked-about hefty fixture list weighing on Espirito Santo’s mind (per Daily Mail), it would be a sensible option to make January recruits.
