Wolverhampton Wanderers are reportedly interested in snapping up Jack Butland from Stoke City.

Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are excited about rumours they could be ready to sign Jack Butland from Stoke City.

The Express claim that Wolves are preparing a £35 million bid for the England international stopper this summer.

Stoke are set to be relegated, and Wolves are said to be keen to take the highly rated goalkeeper from their Midlands rivals.

Wolves fans are enthused by the transfer for multiple reasons.

Firstly, they feel that Butland would be an upgrade on current first-choice, John Ruddy.

And Wolves supporters also believe that if they are prepared to invest £35 million in Butland, then more expensive additions are bound to follow him to Molineux.

Ruddy has had a solid season at Wolves this term, but he has previously shown some weaknesses at Premier League level.

Butland, on the other hand, has been impressive for Stoke – and has made more saves than any other stopper in England’s top flight this term.
