Wolverhampton Wanderers are looking to sign a defender on the final day of the summer transfer window. Lille defender Sven Botman has been heavily linked with a move, but it seems the Dutchman won’t be joining Wolves.

Leeds United will sign Lewis O’Brien if Huddersfield Town lower their demands for the midfielder, according to The Athletic’s Phil Hay.

However, a move for O’Brien could prove difficult ahead of next Tuesday’s summer transfer deadline. Huddersfield are unwilling to sell the Englishman for half the asking price, and it is unclear whether both parties can still reach a ...
