Wolves Remain Interested In Signing Inter Defender Vanheusden

Wolverhampton Wanderers remain interested in signing Inter’s young defender Zinho Vanheusden, according to reports in Belgium.

Vanheusden was expected to rejoin Standard Liege this summer in a deal worth €20 million, having played for them on loan since January 2018.

However, Het Nieuwsblad today reported Standard face competition from the Premier League club in the battle for the 19-year-old.

Southampton and Brighton had also made approaches for Vanheusden, but the Saints have withdrawn their interest while the player himself has turned down the Seagulls.

Vanheusden was a first-choice centre-back in Michel Preud’homme’s side last season before a knee injury ruled him out of the end-of-year playoffs.

Wolves were the surprise package in the Premier League during the 2018-19 campaign, qualifying for the Europa League under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Inter will aim to sell the defender before Sunday in order to record a capital gain that will help them comply with Financial Fair Play regulations.
