Wolves are set for a battle ahead of deadline day as an update on Luca Koleosho’s future has been provided.
Earlier this week, Wolves had an offer rejected for Koleosho, who is a primary target for Gary O’Neil.
The Old Gold are on the prowl to replace Pedro Neto before time runs out this summer, with the 19-year-old considered an option to bolster the attack.
While Burnley have turned down Wolves’ opening offer for the winger, a fresh stance on the matter has come to light, and it could encourage Matt Hobbs to try again.
Luca Koleosho wants to join Wolves after Burnley rejected opening offer
While the Clarets are eager to keep hold of the forward, whom they signed only last summer, the player has a different plan in mind.
This is according to an update provided by journalist Sacha Tavolieri, who has admitted that Koleosho could make it ‘difficult’ for Burnley.
“Clarets make it difficult for Luca Koleosho as they didn’t want to negotiate £25m offer Wolves put on the table.
“Player’s not happy about it and wants the move to Wolves. Sources confirmed that things should move after the League Cup game.”
It’s interesting to learn that Wolves were prepared to offer £25m for the teenager, who impressed in a dire Burnley side last season in the Premier League.
Now that Wolves are aware that the player wants a move to Molineux, Hobbs could be inspired to make an improved offer to the Clarets.
Koleosho could thrive under Gary O’Neil
The two side’s meet tomorrow night in the Carabao Cup, which could make for an interesting watch if Koleosho is involved.
The winger showed glimpses of his potential last season and could now be taken to the next level under the right manager, with O’Neil one of the best at getting the most out of individuals.
It would be a fascinating transfer and one that should excited Wolves fans, as the teenager has heaps of potential so early in his career.
