Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town are in a three way battle with Preston North End and Sunderland for a Derby County playmaker while the Lancashire club are also set to move for another goalkeeper signing as they target a Peterborough United stopper.
Cardiff City and Blackburn Rovers both tried to sign a Wolves’ defender who has this week completed a move to Middlesbrough and Rovers’ are set to lose another defender who has failed to agree a new contract at Eewood Park.
