Wolves swoop in to strengthen their squad on Deadline Day, striking two major deals as they aim to bolster their Championship campaign. Striker Adam Armstrong joins from Southampton for a reported £7 million plus £2 million in potential add-ons, as the 28-year-old completes a three-and-a-half year deal with Wolves.
Armstrong brings a wealth of experience and goal-scoring prowess to Molineux, having netted 11 Championship goals this season. The deal is seen as a shrewd move by Wolves boss Rob Edwards, who praised Armstrong's commitment and work ethic. "He's someone I've admired for a long time," Edwards said. "He's a really good footballer, a goal threat and a goal scorer. He gives us real quality in that midfield area."
Meanwhile, midfielder Angel Gomes joins on loan from Marseille until the end of the season, with an option to buy. The England international brings technical ability and intelligence to the Wolves midfield, having played for Manchester United's academy before joining Lille last summer.
Gomes' arrival has been welcomed by Edwards, who acknowledged his excellent technical skills. "I'm delighted, really excited," Edwards said. "He gives us real quality in that midfield area. He's someone I've got a good relationship with, and we go back quite a long way now."
Wolves have also confirmed the loan signing of Pedro Lima from Porto, as well as the return of Fletcher Holman on an undisclosed deal.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, has completed the club-record £48m signing of Strand Larsen from Wolves. The striker leaves the Premier League's bottom club after 18 months, having scored 14 Premier League goals last season before managing just one this term.

i'm loving these moves by wolves tho! they're really bolstering their squad and it's clear edwards knows what he's doing 
adam armstrong seems like a great addition, that £7 million plus add-ons is insane 
and gomes on loan from marseille is pure genius 
he's got that experience and technical skill to give them an edge in midfield. can't wait to see how these signings pan out 
i gotta say, they're bringin in some quality players now adam armstrong is gonna be a beast upfront and angel gomes brings that tech skillz to midfield 
he's gonna fit right in with edwards' squad. and on the flip side, strand larsen is leavin for £48m wow what a transfer fee 
hope wolves can keep him happy for the rest of the season. this is shapin up to be an intresting championship campaign 
. I'm not convinced that this is enough to turn them around in the Championship...
Do the owners of these teams just get to sit back and collect interest on their investment or something? It's all just so... transactional 
.
. At least Angel Gomes is coming in on loan, which is a nice little pick-me-up 
. But overall, it just feels like the game is all about the money and not about the players or the fans anymore 
.
! They're really going all out to strengthen their squad for the Championship, and it's clear they're serious about making a push for promotion 
. Adam Armstrong joining from Southampton is a no-brainer, he's got some serious goal-scoring chops 
. And I'm super excited to see Angel Gomes on loan from Marseille - his technical skills are insane 
️! Edwards is making some solid moves here, and I think this could be the season for Wolves 
bringing him in until the end of the season gives them time to assess whether they want to make the buy permanent. Pedro lima and fletcher holman are welcome additions too, but armstrong is definitely the one that's got everyone buzzing 
theyre not exactly swimming in cash, youd think theyd focus on developing the young talent theyve got rather than splashing out big bucks 
now id be curious to see how they fit him into the lineup with armstrong and fletcher holman 
They're bringing in some top talent like Adam Armstrong and Angel Gomes who can definitely make a difference on the pitch. 
and i gotta say, i'm loving the moves they're making 
️! and angel gomes on loan is like getting a superstar midfielder for free 
. edwards knows what he's doing, mate. wolfpack just got a whole lot more fierce
