Johnny Phillips, a broadcast journalist for Sky Sports and a columnist for the Express & Star, has reported that a serious offer has been made to Burnley as Wolves look to strengthen their squad. According to Phillips, Wolves are prioritizing the signing of a centre-back, and despite rumors of a limited transfer budget, they are ready to make a competitive offer.
While Wolves are focused on securing a centre-back, West Brom are also keeping a close eye on the situation with O’Shea. The defender is attracting interest from other clubs, including Brentford, but it is believed that Wolves are leading the race for his signature. West Brom could benefit financially from any potential deal, as they have a sell-on clause for O’Shea from when they sold him to Burnley.
O’Shea, who has been a key player for Burnley despite their relegation last season, has attracted attention due to his consistent performances in the Premier League. With interest from several clubs, Burnley are likely to demand a significant fee for the defender, with any proceeds potentially helping West Brom with their financial situation.
In addition to their interest in O’Shea, Wolves could also allow Santiago Bueno to leave if they are successful in their pursuit of the Burnley defender. Bueno was an unused substitute in Wolves’ recent defeat to Arsenal, indicating that he could be surplus to requirements if O’Shea arrives at the club. Despite already making some sales this summer, Wolves are still looking to strengthen their squad and O’Shea could be a key addition to their defensive lineup.
