Wolves Launch Bid To Sign Middlesbrough Man

Premier League side Wolves have lodged a bid of £20m, plus a potential £10m in add-ons, to sign Middlesbrough midfielder Hayden Hackney, according to Football League World.

Hackney, who has attracted interest from a number of different Premier League clubs, is an academy product of Middlesbrough and has made a name for himself with his performances at the Riverside.

Now 23, Hackney could potentially be eyeing a move to the Premier League, with the bid from Wolves certainly set to test the Championship side's resolve.

A Hefty Price Tag

With a fee potentially rising to £30m with performance-related addons, a move for Hackney will be a costly one for Wolves.

Following the recent recruitment strategy of Premier League clubs targeting England's lower leagues, Hackney would be another example of a player making the step-up from the EFL to the top-tier.

With over a 100 appearances at Championship level for Middlesbrough, the midfielder has had his fair share of first-team football at the age of just 23. The question will be whether Hackney can continue his impressive performances in the Premier League, if a move to Molineux were to Materialise.

Fighting Off The Competition

Having seen a bid rejected from Ipswich earlier on this summer, Wolves will be well aware that they are not alone in the race to sign the talented Englishman.

With reported interest right across the Premier League, the top-flight club will be determined to wrap up a deal for Hackney as quickly as possible.

The final stages of the window will no doubt bring about more twists and turns as clubs look to sign their targets before it closes. Wolves will be hoping their bid is enough to secure the services of Hackney and have him available for what is sure to be a tough season ahead.
