Wolves have asked about Lens right back Jonathan Clauss, 29, who also has interest from Chelsea and Manchester United.

Marseille have reportedly had a €5million (£4.2m) plus bonuses offer rejected for Clauss, who is in the final year of his contract.

The defender caught the eye of the Blues last year and has been scouted by the club ever since, however, the Red Devils have now made an approach, according to the Evening Standard.

Both sides are in the market for a new wide-defender with Chelsea set to lose the experienced Cesar Azpilicueta and Manchester United’s new boss Erik ten Hag keen to offload £50m man Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Azpilicueta looks set to join Barcelona after agreeing personal terms, however the Catalan side are yet to match Chelsea’s £7m asking price.

The Spaniard has enjoyed a successful stint with the Blues, winning everything on offer since his move from Marsielle in 2012. 

Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have been credited with interest in re-signing Wan-Bissaka on loan from United, but a move is yet to materialise.
