Carl Ikeme: We need a few key Wolves signings

Keeper Carl Ikeme says he feels 'better than ever' with his recent form – and that with a 'few more players' Wolves won't be far away from promotion.

The Nigerian international saved his best for last in 2015/16 with a solid run of performances since Christmas – after being dropped at the start of the campaign.

Now aged 29, Ikeme feels he's coming into the prime of his career.

He said: "I feel good but I still feel there is more to come – and I feel like that every year.

"It was only really at the end of the season that I looked back and reflected on everything and felt like I hadn't done too badly.

"I felt in good form and maybe as good as I have ever been.

"I have been fortunate to have played a lot of games and that brings you experience.

"Maybe it's 29 to 34 or 35 that can be considered a goalkeeper's prime because you are still fit enough and you have that experience.

"Hopefully I can carry on playing, I'd love to keep going until I was 40 to be honest! I would like to think I keep myself in good shape at all times and I love playing football.

"I will have a little rest before the two Nigeria games (against Mali on Friday and Luxembourg next Tuesday, both in Paris) and then it won't be long before I start thinking about next season."

Wolves face a big summer in the transfer market as Kenny Jackett looks to put together a squad good enough to challenge for the top six.

Ikeme feels that with a few key additions they can certainly work their way up the table, after finishing 14th this season. "There is a basis of a good, young team here," Ikeme, who has now won seven caps for Nigeria added.

"We probably need just a few more players to help the group and we won't be far away.

"It is probably an important summer for the club and hopefully we can come back and head into next season and try to kick on. There is the basis of a good squad here and hopefully we can just tidy things up a bit and push on."
