Wolverhampton Wanderers have identified Lens defender Kevin Danso as their top centre-back target for January.

Vitor Pereira has fulfilled a 14-year ambition to manage in the Premier League but is facing a huge task at Wolverhampton Wanderers, a club deep in relegation trouble.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have appointed Vitor Pereira as their new head coach, the Premier League strugglers announced Thursday. Wolves, second bottom in the Premier League, said Pereira took his first training session with the club on Thursday and would be in charge for their match away to fellow relegation candidates Leicester -- five points above them in the standings -- on Sunday.

Wolves face Manchester United tonight with the Vitor Pereira era well under way. The new head coach had just three days of training with his side before masterminding a composed, organised and clinical performance in the 3-0 win at a lacklustre Leicester.

Pereira is looking to strengthen his squad in the January transfer window after a positive start to his life at Molineux.

Wolves will attempt to bolster their defence and have identified Kevin Danso as their ‘top centre-back’ target according to a report. Sky Sports News claim Wolves are ‘very interested’ in the Lens man having quite rightly identified their back four as their main priority.
