This is from the Danish newspaper BT (translated with Google translate, sorry I don't have time to check the translation):

"The Premier League club Wolverhampton are ready to let the Danish goalkeeper Andreas Søndergaard go.

The goalkeeper from the island Fyn in Denmark has been a part of the club since 2018, but now something new has to happen, and it has to be an end to being the third keeper.

"I'm not getting younger and younger, and what only matters to me is that I have to play senior football," says the 21-year-old Dane and then states:

"We agreed with the club that I could look around for a new club. I can go for free,' explains Andreas Søndergaard, who has one year left on his contract with Wolves.

In the past year, he has been loaned out to Randers and Hereford, where it was only a handful of games, while in the Danish Superliga club he stood in the shadow of the clear first goalkeeper Patrik Carlgren.

Andreas Søndergaard is open to everything, because the league is not as important as playing time.

At the same time, however, he is not shy about once again getting to a place where he is not necessarily promised a place in the team from the start.

"I'm open to everything and don't mind joining a new club as a second goalkeeper. As long as there is a plan and they want to give me the chance, it's not the worst. Then I can get some matches and fight for my place. But it's a big puzzle, because the clubs that have approached must first fire their own,' he explains before a training session at the Premier League club.

"Right now I'm just focusing hard on training. I have two options. One is to throw in the towel and not show up for training.'

"But that's not where I am at all. I come in every day with a huge hunger to get better and really just do everything I can to stay sharp. Here at Wolves, however, I am currently the third keeper, and there is still a very long way to go, so I am at a crossroads, also because the U23 league has been converted into an U21 league, so now of course they are starting to use younger goalkeepers from the academy,' says the goalkeeper, who got a taste for first-team football in the training matches this summer.

"The preseason was really good. I was with the first team in Spain and I got a few games. It was 45 minutes against Burnley, and we won 4-0. It gave blood to the teeth that I can be among players who have played a lot of Premier League. I didn't think I was going to play in the first team, so it was a surprise.'

"I'm also happy to be at Wolves and have developed a lot, but I can't see myself being here for another year as the situation is now, and that's why I want to go out and look for a new club. That's how football is sometimes,' says a settled Andreas Søndergaard.

“Blood to the teeth” now that’s a very descriptive phrase!
What would we say in English and Welsh?
Answers on a postcard please.
ps. There ought to be a subsection for use by our vegan manager.

Good point, @Yankee_Jack .
One other “tactic“ I noticed. When we had a throw in far upfield Piroe would ALWAYS take up position on the goal line just outside the box. He was only loosely marked but never received the ball. What’s the point? It’s beyond me.
I found this post after the double double derby.
Martin is a genius. All this time Piroe has been taking up that position! And its sole purpose was to get their manager to notice and say to his boys. “Piroe always takes up that position but don’t worry about it, they never throw it to him.”
