According to reports, Wolverhampton Wanderers defender Dominic Iorfa and Kortney Hause are a duo in demand this summer.
Crystal Palace are said to be keen on both players (Express & Star), with West Ham United said to be keen on Iorfa and Everton on Hause.
The youngsters impressed for England’s Under-21s at the 2016 Toulon tournament, which was won by Gareth Southgate’s team.

However, despite this, Wolves are yet to receive a single bid for either player, according to Molineux boss Kenny Jackett.
“We haven’t had any bids,” said the 54-year-old, as quoted by the Express & Star.
“We want to work hard to improve our team if we can.”
Joey O’Brien’s exit has left West Ham in need of right-back reinforcements this window, with Iorfa fitting the bill.

The 21-year-old, who is 6 ft 4 ins tall, is equally adept at centre-back, however – a position from which Palace have shed three players since the end of last season.
Despite being a competent left-back, 20-year-old Hause has spent far more time in the heart of defence, though, and may be Palace’s preferred option to fill the latter role.

Everton, meanwhile, have Phil Jagielka, John Stones and Ramiro Funes Mori already on their books.
However, the latter duo continue to be linked with moves away from Goodison Park, while the Toffees have a track record of signing young Football League talents.
