Bids from West Bromwich Albion and West Ham United

De Souza is seemingly a player in demand, with West Brom and West Ham United already having made bids for the Fenerbahce midfielder, according to the reports.

According to A Spor, West Brom made a bid of €12m (£10.5m) for the midfielder earlier this month (click here to read more), while Sporx claimed last month that West Ham had made a similar offer (click here to read more).

Can Wolverhampton Wanderers succeed?

With West Brom and West Ham (reportedly) interested, it does seem that Wolves will face stiff competition for the services of De Souza.

The key is to make an offer that is substantially better than those already made by the Baggies and the Hammers, and maybe the Wanderers, who will play in the Premier League next season after winning automatic promotion from the Championship, need to make an offer of more than €12.5m (£10.94m).
