After battles with the Premier League's profit and sustainability rules and club owners Fosun choosing not to invest heavily in Wolves, the club have had to take a sustainable approach to transfer windows of late.

Wolves lost Pedro Neto and Max Kilman in the summer but did not directly replace them and O'Neil admits the club are not yet in the position to spend freely and he hopes he can realise that in the future once he steers them away from relegation trouble.

"We're still in that phase when I came in and there was a lot to do to try and stabilise.
