It is being reported that Wolverhampton Wanderers and Wigan Athletic are both interested in the signature of Hartlepool United talent Brad Walker.

The 21-year-old is believed to be looking for a new club after his side were relegated to the National League last term and he prefers a stay in the Football League.

Now, the Hartlepool Mail are reporting that Wolves and Wigan are keen on his services this summer.

Wolves had the player on trial back in December 2015. Wolves are now managed by Nuno Espirito Santo, with Kenny Jackett the man who brought him in on trial originally. The report claims that he has remained on a shortlist at Molineux ever since. He is now out of contract this summer and Wolves appear to be set to pounce, although a compensation fee will need to be hashed out with the Monkey Hangers.

Wigan are also keen on bringing in the player, as they look to bounce back and fight for promotion back to the Championship next season.

It seems Walker has plenty of suitors and will be playing in the Football League next term.
