3 Championsip Clubs Set to Battle for Highly-Rated Wolves Midfielder Connor Coady

Published on: 26 July 2016

Newcastle United, Sheffield Wednesday and Queens Park Rangers are all interested in signingWolverhampton Wanderers midfielder Connor Coady,according to talkSPORT.


All three clubs will be aiming for play-off positions at leastfor the upcoming Championship season, and Coady is said to be interesting all three clubs.

Newcastle are aiming to reach the Premier League at the first attempt following their relegation from the Premier League last season, and have managed to convince manager Rafa Benitez to stay after lengthy negotiations with the Spaniard regarding his future at St. James' Park. Coady was at Liverpool during Benitez's spell at the Merseyside club, although he never featured in a first-team match under Benitez.


Sheffield Wednesday were the surprise package in the Championship last year, losing in the play-off final to Hull City, and could move for Coady now that the former England U21 international has been frozen out in pre-season by Wolves' boss Kenny Jacket.


Queens Park Rangers are also plotting a return to the Premier League after their relegation from England's top division in 2014-15.
