Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Ben Marshall is unlikely to join Sunderland [Express & Star], while Fulham are especially keen on the 26-year-old [Northern Echo].

According to the Express & Star, Marshall is ‘moving closer to a Molineux exit’, after failing to join his teammates at a warm weather training camp in Spain this week.

And the above report adds that the former Manchester United trainee is being chased by ‘a number of Championship clubs’.

It also claims that Wolves are hopeful they will be able to sell Marshall, and recoup the £1.5 million they paid for him in January 2017.

According to the Northern Echo, however, Wolves are only looking for £1 million for the player – who has failed to appear for Wolves in more than two months and does not have a future under Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux.

The above report adds that Sunderland cannot afford to pay even that, unless they can sell either Lamine Kone or Didier N’Dong, and are therefore pushing for a loan deal.

It also claims that while other Championship clubs – including Fulham – have signalled an interest in Marshall, none have tabled a permanent offer, offering hope to Sunderland.

Could Sunderland lose out on Marshall to Fulham?
