Dapo Anunlopo Joins Wolves

Wolves has secured the signing of exciting young forward Dapo Anunlopo from League Two side Bromley. The 17-year-old, who will link up with the academy’s under-18 side, arrives at Compton Park as a highly rated attacking player after just six months with the London club. Having grown up in Ireland, Anunlopo joined Bromley from Dundalk and caught the eye of the Wolves recruitment team following impressive performances in both the Premier League Cup and FA Youth Cup, including a goal in the latter against Ipswich Town this month. Head of Academy Recruitment Harry Hooman spoke about the attributes that attracted the club: “Dapo hasn’t been at Bromley long, having moved over from Ireland, but he has really impressed us in the first half of the season and we have been monitoring his progress over the last few months. We really like what we see and believe he has huge potential. “He is a quick, direct and aggressive forward who can operate across the front line. We are always looking at clubs lower down the pyramid for players who are hungry to improve and develop. What stands out with Dapo is his athleticism and versatility, but also his desire to make things happen – we love how he carries the ball. He has really bought into our approach here at Wolves and we’re very excited to be working with him.” Wolves thanked Bromley for their assistance and co-operation during the transfer and wished them the very best for the remainder of the season.

Antoine Semenyo Scores First Premier League Goal As Manchester City Beat Wolves 2-0

Antoine Semenyo scored his first Premier League goal for Manchester City as they secured their first league victory of 2026 with a 2-0 win over Wolves. Following a challenging week that saw consecutive defeats to Manchester United and Bodo/Glimt, City closed the gap to league leaders Arsenal to just four points. City, who started the match with Erling Haaland and Phil Foden on the bench, went ahead in the sixth minute when Omar Marmoush stretched to redirect Matheus Nunes’ cross into the net. Marmoush came close to doubling the lead just after the half-hour mark, cutting inside from the left but striking the right post. Wolves appealed for a handball against Yerson Mosquera immediately after, but a VAR review upheld the referee’s decision to let play continue, ruling that Mosquera’s arm was in a natural position. Semenyo sealed the win in first-half stoppage time, curling a low shot from the edge of the box past José Sá to make it 2-0. Wolves improved after the break but failed to test Gianluigi Donnarumma, with Mosquera’s looping header striking the crossbar. Semenyo also came close to another goal at the other end, but neither side added to the score as City claimed a morale-boosting victory.
