O'Shea favouring Wolves move
- Published
Burnley are holding firm on their 拢15m valuation of defender Dara O'Shea - with the defender favouring a move to Wolves.
The 25-year-old is eager to make the switch to Molineux - returning to the West Midlands having previously played for bitter rivals West Bromwich Albion - but Wolves are yet to meet the Clarets' asking price.
They have offered around 拢13m for the centre-back but, with Brentford having previously bid 拢15m, that remains the asking price.
The Bees have signed Liverpool defender Sepp van den Berg in a deal believed to be in the region of 拢25m, leaving their position on O'Shea unclear.
Any deal for O'Shea is not imminent and is likely to go into the last week of the transfer window.
O'Shea has made 39 appearances and scored five goals for Burnley since moving from Albion last summer. He scored in the Clarets' 4-1 Championship opening day win at Luton and also played in their 5-0 victory over Cardiff.
Wolves are in the market for a new centre-back having sold Max Kilman to West Ham for 拢40m but boss Gary O'Neil's spending power is restricted.
He is not expected to be able to make many signings before the closure of the window next Friday, despite also selling Pedro Neto to Chelsea in a deal worth 拢54m.
Wolves have made a loan offer, with an obligation to buy, for Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale but the Gunners would prefer a straight sale. Any deal is also likely to go into the final week of the window.
