According to the report, Wolves had the seventh-highest club value of the 2018/19 Premier League sides according to their accounts.
The report also stated that Wolves were worth more than ten times the £45 million which Fosun paid to take over the club in 2016/17 (per PriceOfFootball), which fans of the Old Gold loved.
I always knew we would be great news

What do we think?
As can be seen in the responses from Wolves supporters, they were delighted to read that the Old Gold were valued so highly according to their 2018/19 accounts.
The report certainly does make silky reading for Wolves fans, as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side only trail the Premier League’s ‘big six‘, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur in terms of value.
