Wolves defender Max Kilman's form eased management's plans to strengthen their defensive options this summer market.
Bruno Lage was targeting a new central defender throughout the summer as one of the 'three or four top players' he wanted before the transfer deadline, says the Express & Star.
And although Wolves did make moves to secure a signing in that department, it is understood Kilman's superb performances meant they were not panicking to sign a defender.
Despite playing on the right of the back three, left-footed Kilman has been an assured presence in gold and black – becoming one of the stand-out performers so far this season.
With Willy Boly and Yerson Mosquera also returning from injury, Wolves felt they had enough cover in defence.
