Wolves have a lack of British talent on their books at the moment, especially after in the summer, and letting Conor Coady join Everton on loan.

It is understood that Wolves do not have a recall option on Coady, but Lopetegui wants to sign some other homegrown players to strengthen his ranks.

He is determined to get three players through the door by January 1 to give Wolves the best chance of making a flying start once the Premier League resumes on Boxing Day.

Lopetegui is not just fixated on English players, though, and salesisuzu the Midlands club have been linked with Atletico Madrid forward Matheus Cunha.

Wolves have scored just eight goals in their 15 league matches to date, and appear to be in desperate need of bolstering their attack as quickly as possible.

In terms of outgoings, Wolves insist that they will not allow any key players to leave next month, meaning that Ruben Neves is set to stay for the rest of the season, but doubts remain over Raul Jimenez, who has started just two league games this term and is yet to score in the top-flight.

Lopetegui faces a daunting task to guide Wolves to safety, with the team having won just twice all season.

They currently find themselves rock-bottom of the table, four points adrift of 17th-placed Everton.

They face the Toffees in a huge clash on Boxing Day at Goodison Park.
