Sources: Wolves last-gasp Harrison Reed move failed after Fulham talks

Wolves saw a last-gasp move for Fulham midfielder Harrison Reed fail before last week’s (1 September) transfer deadline, sources have told Football Insider.

It is believed the Midlands club submitted an offer of around £3million to Fulham for the 28-year-old’s services.

Wolves were aware of Matheus Nunes’ imminent departure to Man City and were forced to scour the market for potential replacements before the 1 September deadline.

But they were unable to agree a deal with Fulham – who also staved off late interest from Bayern Munich in defensive midfield star Joao Palhinha.

Reed has less than 12 months left to run on his deal at Craven Cottage, which nets him a reported wage of £30,000-a-week.

The London club have the option to extend his deal by a further year.

He has started four of a possible five games for Fulham so far this season – and has played 344 minutes in total.

Reed joined the Cottagers from Southampton in 2020 and has gone on to make 150 appearances across all competitions for the club, notching three goals and 11 assists.

Wolves were in the market for a central midfielder after losing Nunes to Man City for a reported £53million.

They went on to sign Strasbourg ace Jean-Ricner Bellegarde – who started the new Ligue 1 season with two goals and two assists in three games.

Football Insider revealed on Friday (8 September) that Chelsea intervened to prevent Wolves from signing Strasbourg midfield talent Habib Diarra in the summer window.

Wolves have won one of a possible four Premier League games this season and sit 15th in the table.
