Personal terms are also reportedly not an issue, leaving just the finer details for the clubs to iron out. The transfer is expected to be finalised quickly within the coming days.<\/p>\n<h3>Versatility Is Key<\/h3>\n<p>Standing at 6&#8217;3, a profile that V\u00edtor Pereira seems to prefer, with most of Wolves&#8217; summer additions standing over 6 feet, he brings even more physicality to the Molineux club. Krej\u010d\u00ed is also a versatile player; he is able to play as a left-footed centre-back (a player that Pereira has wanted since the transfer window opened) or even shift into defensive midfield if required, as well as attacking midfield.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/08\/19\/crystal-palace-matt-hobbs-wolves\/\" target=\"_self\">Former \u2018Key\u2019 Wolves Asset \u2018Close\u2019 to Move to Premier League Rivals In \u2018Positive Step\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The move to Wolves would be as competition to new captain Toti Gomes, unless Pereira is intent on shifting the back line around with the new signing replacing Matt Doherty, and Emmanuel Agbadou moving to the right of the back three.<\/p>\n<h3>A Remarkable Goal Scoring Record For A Defender<\/h3>\n<p>What truly sets <a  href=\"https:\/\/www.transfermarkt.co.uk\/ladislav-krejci\/leistungsdaten\/spieler\/345911\/plus\/0?saison=ges\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Krej\u010d\u00ed<\/a> apart is his exceptional goal output for a defender. During his time at Sparta Prague, he managed 31 goals and seven assists in 116 appearances. He has also scored in La Liga, the Europa League, and the Europa Conference League, taking his total tally to 53 goals and 16 assists in 257 games, an extraordinary return for a defensive player.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2025\/08\/19\/newcastle-interest-jorgen-strand-larsen\/\" target=\"_self\">Newcastle Eye Striker in the \u2018Top 3% In Europe\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This impending move underscores Wolves&#8217; commitment to shoring up their defence with a player who offers more than just defensive cover.
