The report states Liverpool are considering a move for Wolves’ defensive midfielder, although the 29-year-old also has interest from Saudi Arabian clubs.

Gary O’Neil won’t want to lose the midfielder this summer, but the report claims his departure from Molineux ‘cannot be ruled out’.

Wolves team news for Brighton clash

Meanwhile, Wolves have no injury doubts going into their clash with Brighton on Saturday.

Matheus Cunha was a doubt for the trip to Old Trafford, but played 77 minutes in the 1-0 defeat to Manchester United and should be ready once more for the visit of the Seagulls. He delivered a good performance against the Red Devils, despite not being fully fit, having missed a couple of Gary O’Neil’s first training sessions. He will have now had a full week of training under the new boss and there is a hope he can make an impact.

No injury problems have been reported, which means O’Neil will have a clean bill of health to choose from, and will be able to choose a side he feels his capable of beating Brighton, following their positive display against Manchester United. Matheus Cunha and Pablo Sarabia could lead the line again whilst Lemina performed well in the midfield on Monday.

Match report and free highlights as Brighton win 4-1 at Wolves; Solly March with a double, as well as goals from Kaoru Mitoma, with a stunning solo goal, and Pervis Estupinan give visitors victory; Hee-Chan Hwang headed in a consolation, before Matheus Nunes saw red late on

The visitors led at half-time thanks to Kaoru Mitoma’s stunning individual strike on quarter-of-an-hour mark, before doubling their advantage right at the start of the second half via Pervis Estupinan’s close-range finish.

However, within the space of just five minutes, the game was over as a contest as March scored twice in quick succession with simple tap ins after eye-catching Brighton breaks, before Hee-Chan Hwang’s headed consolation just past the hour-mark.

And to make matters worse for the hosts, key forward Matheus Nunes was sent off in stoppage time after picking up a second yellow card after a needless push on a Brighton defender on the byline as frustrations boiled over.

As a result, Brighton are top of the Premier League having won their opening two games by an aggregate score of 8-2, while the Gary O’Neil reign at Wolves has begun with two straight defeats as they sit bottom of the table.

This was the first Brighton game since they sold key holding midfielder Caicedo to Chelsea for a British-record transfer fee, not that it showed as the visitors ran riot in the Midlands sunshine.
