Sources: Wolves agree to sign Man City sensation Griffiths
Wolves are set to sign Man City starlet Harvey Griffiths on a permanent deal, Football Insider can exclusively reveal.
The Midlands outfit are poised to land the midfielder, 17, after reaching a full agreement over the transfer.
A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Wolves have had a bid of £500,000 for Griffiths accepted by City.
It comes just over a month after the teenage sensation signed a new contract with the Premier League champions.
The youngster has been with City since the age of nine and has gradually progressed through the club’s youth ranks.
He is described by City as “strong at breaking up play and calm in his distribution as a defensive midfielder.”
Griffiths made his debut for the under-18s as a 16-year-old in April 2019 and has gone on to feature for the youth side 17 times in total.
He registered an impressive seven assists in 15 appearances in the U18 Premier League last season.
Griffiths also has two substitute appearances in the Premier League 2, which is geared towards players under the age of 23.
He will become Wolves’ fifth permanent capture of the summer window after Rayan Ait Nouri, Jose Sa, Yerson Mosquera and Bendeguz Bolla.
Francisco Trinacao and Hee-chan Hwang have also joined the club on loan.
Bruno Lage’s side have endured a frustrating start to their 2021-22 Premier League campaign.
Their opening three matches, against Leicester City, Tottenham and Man United respectively, have all ended in 1-0 defeats.
