Wolverhampton Wanderers have strengthened their squad in Wolverhampton, West Midlands, by signing striker Adam Armstrong and midfielder Angel Gomes. The club completed the deals before the February 2, 2026 transfer deadline to address a lack of goals and bolster their league campaign. Both players reported for their first full training session at Wolves’ Compton Park training ground on 4 February 2026.
The club signed 28-year-old striker Adam Armstrong from Southampton on a permanent contract. Premier League records show his top-flight appearances and goals, and Armstrong has a strong goal-scoring record in English football, including a prolific 2020/21 season with Blackburn Rovers that raised his profile. Wolves announced the signing on 2 February 2026.
Joining him is 25-year-old midfielder Angel Gomes, who arrives on loan from Olympique de Marseille for the remainder of the 2025/26 season, with a reported option to make the move permanent. Gomes is known for his close control and ball-progression ability and is expected to play a creative attacking role to help generate more scoring opportunities for Wolves.
These signings follow a 2025 leadership overhaul at the club that included managerial changes and front-office restructuring. Head coach Vitor Pereira has argued the club needed players who could change the tempo of games; the club has said the new additions are intended to add pace and entertainment for fans at Molineux Stadium.
