Overview

• The Times and BBC report an agreement is close, with confirmation likely before Wolves host Leeds on Saturday.
• The extension is understood to be for three years, prolonging a contract that was due to expire at the end of this campaign.
• Wolves are bottom after four Premier League defeats — Manchester City 4-0, Bournemouth 1-0, Everton 3-2 and Newcastle 1-0 — with their only win coming in the EFL Cup against West Ham.
• Executive chairman Jeff Shi has recently stressed faith in Pereira and the value of continuity for team cohesion.
• Pereira rescued Wolves from relegation danger last season to finish 16th, while a summer of sales including Matheus Cunha, Rayan Ait-Nouri, Nelson Semedo and Pablo Sarabia preceded the current slide.
