Boss Rob Edwards has urged Wolves not to waste time in the transfer market this summer.

The club are preparing for an expected relegation to the Championship and are holding weekly transfer planning meetings.

Edwards was relegated from the Premier League in 2024 with Luton, who dropped down to League One a year later, and he knows the importance of being ready.

"Going forward into the summer I think we'll be in a position where we can be aggressive and get some work done early," he said.

"I've stressed that to the guys as well, as someone who's lived this sort of situation before, that it's really important we can get to work with a group really quickly to put us in the best position to build something.

"There's a lot of hard work going into that. I think we'll be in a good spot.

"We've got a good idea of what the situation is and we have to use that to our advantage and make this difficult situation work in our favour."

Wolves sold striker Jorgen Strand Larsen to Crystal Palace for £48m in the winter window while also letting winger Jhon Arias leave for Palmeiras and defender Emmanuel Agbadou join Besiktas.

It was part of their preparations for next season with Wolves 12 points from safety with eight games left.

"There are a lot of good people in good positions now and we're working really hard to get a plan together to make sure that we're in a good position moving forward," added Edwards.

"We admit mistakes have been made, we know we're in a really difficult position right now but hopefully everyone can get on board with the changes we're going to make and can see we're going do the right thing for the football club.

"Obviously we've not got a crystal ball so we don't fully know what's going to happen but transfers are a delicate business anyway."
