Wolverhampton Wanderers and Brighton and Hove Albion are leading the chase for Dan Happe, with Norwich City closely monitoring the Leyton Orient defender’s situation, according to The Sun.

Happe 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 as well as attracting attention from England’s C team, 20-year-old Happe is now said to have interest from Wolves, Brighton and Norwich.

Steve Davis manager of Crewe Alexander watches during their Sky Bet League One match against Peterborough United at the Alexandra Stadium on September 7, 2013 in Crewe, England.

The Sun claims the left-side centre-back could be available for a cut-price £200,000 fee this summer, when he will have one year left on his contract.

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

Is Wolves, Brighton or Norwich the best move for Happe?
