Wolves are favourites to sign Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack.

Wolverhampton Wanderers have emerged as favourites to sign Aston Villa striker Ross McCormack, according to bookmakers Ladbrokes.

The betting firm have opened a market on McCormack’s next club and Wolves are priced at just 5/1.

Premier League side Middlesbrough are 6/1, with Norwich City 7/1 and Hull City 8/1. A return to former clubs Leeds United and Fulham are both considered only an outside option, at 16/1.

McCormack left Fulham for Aston Villa this summer, only to see the west London side above them in the table in ninth.

Aston Villa are in 13th position, six points ahead of Wolves who sit in 18th place.

Wolves are looking to spend this January to back new manager Paul Lambert, after several summer signings did not work out, they will be moving players on too.

They are one of the few Championship sides who would not struggle to afford McCormack, given their recent takeover by Chinese investors Fosun International.
