Wolves have now agreed a deal with St Mirren to sign teen sensation Ethan Sutherland, sources have told Football Insider.

The versatile 18-year-old is heading down to England for a medical on Wednesday to complete a permanent move to the Midlands giants.

Sutherland has agreed personal terms with Wolves, and there is now a full agreement over the transfer.

Football Insider revealed that Wolves firmed up their interest after the Scottish side rejected an initial £250,000 plus-add-ons bid.

Numerous clubs had been monitoring the wide midfielder, but Gary O’Neil’s side have managed to lure him to Molineux Stadium.

The 18-year-old is in the final year of his contract at the SMiSA Stadium, and St Mirren have opted to cash in on the highly-rated teenager.

Wolves will be gaining a versatile player in Ethan Sutherland

Even though Sutherland does bring attacking qualities as a wide midfielder, he has also played as a right or left full-back throughout his career.

This versatility will give O’Neil plenty of options for using Sutherland as his career develops at the Premer League side.

Sutherland had made a cameo appearance from the bench in St Mirren’s recent defeat against Celtic, but he hadn’t nailed down a regular starting position for the club.

Sutherland isn’t the only young star playing in Scotland that Wolves are keeping their eye on.

Football Insider revealed that Wolves are one of several clubs in talks to sign Dundee’s teenage sensation Sebastian Lochead.

In other news, Wolves could have greater spending power to make new signings.
