Wolves preparing move for 24-year-old striker, who has won six aerial duels per game
Wolverhampton Wanderers are considering a move for Sheffield United striker Oliver McBurnie as they aim to bolster their frontline for next season, The Sun claims.

William Jose was brought in during January to address the concern, but the Brazilian has not been able to make an impact and has yet to score in 10 outings. There are suggestions that Wolves could...
