Wolverhampton Wanderers are said to be keen on the Preston North End winger, who their manager knows from his time at Aston Villa.

Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing a £2 million bid for Preston North End winger Callum Robinson, according to the Daily Mail.

Robinson, who has scored six goals and created three since signing for Preston on a permanent basis last summer, is familiar to Wolves boss Paul Lambert from their time together at Aston Villa.

The report claims Wolves could face competition for the youngster, however, with Championship rivals Fulham and Cardiff City said to be closely monitoring his progress.

As reported by HITC Sport on Monday, Wolves are continuing their pursuit of Blackburn Rovers winger Ben Marshall – another of Lambert’s old charges.

However, Rovers are said to be demanding as much as £2 million for the 25-year-old, who is due to become a free agent in June, and it could be the case that Robinson is being considered as a better-value alternative.

Alternatively, HITC Sport also understands that a number of Premier League clubs have expressed an interest in Wolves winger Helder Costa, which could leave the Molineux side in need of more than one new signing.
