Former Wolves striker Don Goodman can see new manager Julen Lopetegui making a signing swoop to boost his attacking options before tonight's transfer deadline.

Lopetegui has already brought in free agent Diego Costa and has been working with Raul Jimenez and Hwang Hee-chan.

But while Goodman believes the Spaniard won't be satisfied with what he has, he can see Matheus Cunha making an impact after his arrival from Atletico Madrid.

Speaking on behalf of OLBG, Goodman told Tribalfootball.com: "It's a difficult one for Lopetegui because it's not as if Wolves aren't going to back him.

"They've already brought Matheus Cunha in, so they have been backing him but there's no doubt it isn't going the way anyone at Wolves would have wanted it to go this season.

"When I looked closer at the numbers, Wolves have scored eight or nine less than they actually should have done according to the xG metrics.

"They should be in mid-table, so it's not like they aren't creating chances.

"But when you look at all the forward options they have, Raul Jimenez hasn't scored in the Premier League this season and has six goals in his last 40 Premier League appearances.

"It was unfortunate really because he got 13 in his first season at Wolves and 17 the following season, started with four goals in his first 10 games before fracturing his skull.

"He just hasn't been the same player since, you always hope and pray someone can come back from a horrific injury like that, but it hasn't happened yet.

"Jimenez was the one they could rely on, obviously they recognised he isn't getting back to those levels, so they brought in Diego Costa.

"He hasn't scored yet and hasn't really been prolific since he left Chelsea.

"Costa is always going to be a handful, but you need your number nines to be scoring at least a few goals.

"It's too early to judge Cunha right now because he hasn't started many games for Wolves as of yet.

"Hwang Hee-Chan has scored 5 goals in 46 appearances for Wolves as well."

Goodman, who spent four years leading the line at Molineux, admits Wolves' problems in front of goal is baffling.

He continued: "It's strange because these are good players for Wolves, they're all quality and high-calibre players who just aren't finding the back of the net.

"It's a little bit of a mystery, but it's worrying when Podence is your top scorer with five and then Neves with four.

"Only five Wolves players have scored a goal in the Premier League, so clearly that is an issue that needs to be addressed.

"It doesn't look to me like they can address it from within, so I would be a little surprised if there isn't another iron in the fire in regard to a striker coming in this January.

"I think they have more than enough to survive, Lopetegui is definitely moving them in the right direction, but you have to score goals.

"If you don't score goals, then you're asking your defenders to keep clean sheets week in and week out, which is difficult in the Premier League.

"That goal-scoring scenario needs fixing as soon as possible and I'm sure it will be quite high on the agenda of Lopetegui and the club."
