Nathan Collins is being linked with an exit from Wolves – and him leaving could pave the way for Conor Coady to come back in.
Collins is the subject of interest from Brentford at the moment.
It was reported last night that the Bees are now in advanced talks to sign the defender, with Wolves looking for around £25 million.
Collins only signed for Wolves last summer from Burnley.
But it looks as though he could already be on his way out.
Brentford have seen a bid rejected already, but are hopeful they can reach an agreement with Wanderers.
And should Collins depart, then it could see Coady reintegrated.
Nathan Collins out, Conor Coady in..?
According to the Express & Star, Collins leaving the club could ‘set up Coady’s reintroduction to the Wolves squad ahead of next season’.
Coady is coming back to Wolves after Everton decided not to buy him after his loan spell at Goodison Park.
Sporting director Matt Hobbs said that he had been speaking to Coady every day since the season ended. And that the defender was going to speak with Julen Lopetegui about the next steps.
The Spaniard needs to determine whether Coady can add value.
He is obviously a brilliant leader and character. He is also a great footballer in the right system.
He has previously been questioned over his ability to play in a back four.
Conor Coady returning to Wolves would be extremely divisive, as Brentford attempt to land Nathan Collins
This is a very interesting claim from the Express & Star and one that will no doubt divide the fanbase.
Some feel that Coady should not come back to Molineux.
The system has now been changed to one that doesn’t particularly suit Coady, although he did have a few good games in a back four for Everton.
But on the whole, he is far better as a ‘sweeper’ in a back three.
Some feel Wolves have now moved on and should not seek to go back to old days.
But others love Coady for his leadership and feel he was missed last season.
It will be absolutely fascinating to see what happens, as Brentford look to sign Collins from Molineux.
