Adding a freshly promoted team this high up on the list may seem optimistic, but Wolves are different from the likes of Brighton and Huddersfield. Since their Chinese owners took over in 2016, the only way this club is going is up.

However, Wolverhampton's relation to 'super-agent' Jorge Mendes has been scrutinised on several occasions. Despite being cleared of breaking any rules regarding third-party involvement following an EFL investigation into their link-up with Jorge Mendes, the agent's influence at the club remains unclear and could spell trouble in the top flight.

In spite of their fantastic run in the Championship, Wolves' standout performance came against Manchester City in the Carabao Cup, where they forced the Premier League champions into a penalty shootout after a goalless draw at the Etihad.

Wolves have already prepared for the top flight, signing Ruben Neves and Diogo Jota from Porto and Atletico Madrid respectively. More high-profile transfers are certainly on the horizon with the added attraction of being able to offer Premier League football.

After several short spells in England's elite division, it looks like the Wanderers could finally make a long-term impact on the Premier League landscape.
