Wolverhampton Wanderers will be set for a seven-figure windfall if Burnley sell Sam Vokes this month, according to a report.

On Wednesday afternoon, Sky Sports News claimed that Stoke City are interested in the 29-year-old, and have even offered the Clarets veteran striker Peter Crouch as part-exchange.

According to the Express & Star, under the terms of Wolves’ £350,000 sale of Vokes to Burnley in 2012, the Molineux outfit are due 25 per cent of any profit for his future sell-on fee on top of the original fee.

The latter report also claimed that Stoke’s bid for Vokes stands at £9million, though the Lancastrians are holding out for £10million, which would mean Wolves would receive around £2.4million as a result of the sale.

Wolves and Stoke have already been involved in several direct transfers this month, the Potters £12.5m for striker Benik Afobe and signing club captain Danny Batth in a deal which could reach £4m, according to the Express & Star.

Vokes has made 267 appearances for Burnley since his 2012 move, scoring 64 goals and registering 18 assists, but has got little game time under Sean Dyche in the past few months and has only made one Premier League start since November, according to Transfermarkt.
