Wolverhampton Wanderers sporting director Kevin Thelwell believes that recent arrivals should follow the example of Leander Dendoncker.

Wolves signed several players in the summer, including Patrick Cutrone, Pedro Neto, Meritan Shabani and Jesus Vallejo (on loan).

While some have not impressed in the first half of the season, Thelwell believes they can adapt in the same way that Dendoncker eventually did.

Wolves will be hoping that some of those players can challenge for a first team position, which would add squad depth and keep starters on their toes.

He told WolvesTV: "I think with the guys we brought in Cutrone, Neto, Jordao, Shabani and Vallejo you can see we have brought in a lot of good, strong young talent that is able to support the group.

"The hope is just like with Dendoncker, they find their feet quickly and start to challenge and push some of that senior team and start to take starting places."
