Sadly it comes in the quite underwhelming shape of 20 year old forward Frank Nouble, who had been released by West Ham in May.
He's made limited appearance for the Hammers and been on loan to various clubs.
On Vokes, it wouldn't surprise me if he is the first forward to leave Molineux. As Nouble will come in as the young back up player (which is strange enough with Cassidy, Winnall and McLinden all looking to get a chance) I can see Sam leaving us for good. I've always rated him, and he scored some important goals but I think it would be best for him to leave. He needs more stability to progress into the good footballer he could become.
This could be the beginning of a busy summer, with the signing of Bjarn Siguardarson looking to happen halfway through July. Hopefully there are more ins than outs!
