Wolves managed to salvage a draw against Brighton, coming back from a 2-0 deficit in the final minutes—a feat that speaks to the resilience Gary O’Neil has instilled in his squad despite the season’s rocky start. Key contributors Matheus Cunha and Rayan Ait-Nouri were instrumental in securing the comeback, with Cunha netting the equalizer and delivering a dynamic performance with successful dribbles, key passes, and chance creation. Ait-Nouri complemented this by excelling in passing accuracy, successful dribbles, and ground duels, forming an effective left-side partnership that will be critical for Wolves’ season ahead.
However, the disparity in wages at Wolves has put the spotlight on Pablo Sarabia, who, despite earning £90k-per-week—the same as the highest-paid player Goncalo Guedes—has yet to start a Premier League match this season. The Spaniard, who joined Wolves in January 2023, contributed significantly last season but has struggled for minutes this campaign, failing to create big chances or make an impact comparable to his salary. Given his limited role and high wages, a January departure for Sarabia could allow Wolves to reallocate funds to strengthen the squad and reward key performers like Cunha and Ait-Nouri.
