Premier League side Wolverhampton Wanderers will reportedly let Danny Batth leave with Championship duo Wednesday and Ipswich Town keen.

Ipswich Town appear to have made a centre-back their top priority on deadline day.

The Green Un reports that the Tractor Boys are keen to bring former player Gareth McAuley back to Portman Road, seven years after the 38-year-old free-agent left East Anglia.

And according to The Mail, Danny Batth is another defender on Ipswich’s radar. So Paul Hurst could be set for a battle with Sheffield Wednesday with just hours remaining in the loan market.

Wednesday are also keen on the Wolverhampton Wanderers skipper, who captained Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to the Championship title last season.

Batth has spent his entire career with Wolves, making over 250 appearances for the club. But he is arguably the club’s fifth choice centre-back now with summer recruit Leander Dendoncker seemingly set to be used in the back three by Nuno.

As a result, The Mail claims that 27-year-old Batth is surplus to requirements at Molineux.

But, blessed with experience, aerial strength and fine leadership skills, he could be an excellent addition for either Wednesday or Ipswich on and off the pitch.
