The 23-year-old has been superb for Wigan this season, and has been playing a pivotal role in their push for promotion.

However, it seems Wolves are looking to offload him permanently. He was withdrawn from Wigan’s starting XI prior to kick-off for their FA Cup tie with Bournemouth on Saturday as Wolves ready to accept an offer from Sheffield United.
