Wolverhampton Wanderers could reportedly sell Cameron John to Premier League rivals Brighton while Championship duo Norwich and Stoke City are linked, too.

Cameron John is still yet to make his senior debut for Wolverhampton Wanderers but this has not stopped the teenager from becoming one of the most in-demand youngsters in English football.

An 18-year-old defender who can play at centre-half or left-back, the Mail stated all the way back in November that John was being tracked by a number of Premier League teams despite his inability to break into Wolves’ first-team squad.

And latest updates in the Mail (live transfer blog, 23/05/2018 10.50am) reports that interest is firming up in the former Southend United youngster.

It is understood that John is target for Brighton and Hove Albion, who have already reinforced their back line this window with the recent signing of Nigerian international Leon Balogun from Bundesliga club Mainz.

Championship duo Stoke City and Norwich are also allegedly interested in John, who has just a year left on his contract. The report adds that Wolves are willing to listen to offers for a player who has been an important part of Scott Sellars’ U23 side in the last few months.

It would perhaps be a surprise to see Wolves ready to part with one of their most highly-rated young talents, but John’s impending exit could be the result of the anticipated heavy investment at Molineux this summer.

Willy Boly, who spent last season on loan from Porto, is expected to join permanently for £10 million.
