Leyton Orient fans are reacting to reports linking the young O’s centre-back, Dan Happe, with Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton and Hove Albion and Norwich City.

According to The Sun, Wolves and Brighton are leading the chase for Happe, whose situation Norwich are said to be closely monitoring.

The 20-year-old has only recently broken into the Orient first XI, having progressed through the National League side’s academy ranks.

But he has started nine straight matches during the O’s surge to the top of the table, where they sit two points better off than Solihull Moors with as many games in hand.

And it is claimed Happe could be available to the likes of Wolves, Brighton and Norwich for just £200,000 in the summer transfer window, when he will have one year left on his contract.

So what do those of a Leyton Orient persuasion make of the rumour? This is what they’re saying on Twitter…

Also weighing in was the legendary ex-Orient player, John Sitton…

The Sun speculates the former Leyton Orient manager, Steve Davis, will have spoken glowingly about Happe to the Wolves boss, Nuno Espirito Santo, under whom he now works.
