Boss Gary O'Neil has warned Wolves must be "comfortable" with their transfer business when the window shuts on Friday.

Wolves lost 6-2 at home to Chelsea on Sunday, with O'Neil starting just one summer signing in striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

They lost out to Ipswich for Dara O'Shea, who moved to Portman Road from Burnley, while looking for a replacement for 拢40m Max Kilman after his July move to West Ham.

The club still want to sign Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, although the Gunners rather sell the England international with Wolves having offered an initial loan with an option to buy.

Burnley winger Luca Koleosho is also a target after the club sold Pedro Neto to Chelsea for 拢54m.

O'Neil said: "Everyone knows the financial restrictions we have and have been there since I arrived. We have raised good funds in this window and the squad will need help.

"Once the window shuts it doesn't open for a good few months, when it shuts we need to be comfortable with where we are.

"There's a lot of work for myself, I need to get more out of the group we have. Then there's an understanding the Premier League is tough and if you sell good players it makes you weaker.

"We'll see if it's a breakeven window by the time it shuts next Friday. We have raised some good funds and hopefully we can use them well in the next few days."
