Wolves in talks for Championship winger
Wolves are in talks to sign Burnley winger Luca Koleosho before the end of the transfer window.
The 19-year-old attacker is highly rated and impressed last season for the Clarets, as they were relegated from the Premier League.
Burnley signed Koleosho from Spanish side Espanyol in July 2023, for £2.6million plus £860,000 in add-ons.
He managed one goal and one assist in 15 Premier League games and so far in the Championship this season he has scored one goal in two appearances.
Koleosho was not named in Burnley's squad to face Sunderland today (Saturday), but the club posted on social media to say he was in attendance at the game and missed out due to a 'slight knock'.
Born in the United States, Koleosho has represented America at under-15 level but has since gone on to represent Italy at under-19s, under-20s and the under-21s.
He is primarily a left winger, but can also play across the front line.
Wolves are in the market for another winger after selling Pedro Neto to Chelsea in a deal worth up to £54million.
Now, they are in talks with Burnley over bringing Koleosho to Molineux before next Friday's transfer deadline.
Wolves have also been in talks with Burnley over defender Dara O'Shea, but they have lost out on his signature to newly promoted Ipswich.
O'Shea was also not named in Burnley's squad to face Sunderland, as Ipswich have met his £15million valuation, while Wolves were not willing to meet Burnley's demands.
Burnley also travel to Molineux on Wednesday for a Carabao Cup second round clash with Wolves, as talks for Koleosho continue.
Wolves have also agreed a deal with Nantes for young centre-back Bastien Meupiyou, who is expected to sign before the window closes.
