Championship new boys Sheffield United have launched an ambitious bid for Wolves captain Conor Coady, Football Insider sources understand.
Coady has established himself as a key member of the Wolves side since joining them from Huddersfield Town for £2.5million in 2015.
The 24-year-old has made over 80 appearances for Wolves in his two seasons at Molineux and captained Wolves in their opening Championship game of this season against Middlesbrough.
He has featured in central midfield, right back and is now playing at centre back in Wolves’ new 3-4-3 system.
