Nicky Maynard: Wanted by a number of clubs

Sky Bet

Wolves are the latest club to make a move for Bristol City's in-demand striker Nicky Maynard, Sky Sports can confirm.

However, a deal still appears some way from being done and it looks increasingly likely Maynard will stay at Ashton Gate.

Wolves are looking to do a number of deals ahead of the window closing and Maynard is very much on Mick McCarthy's radar, and contact has been made.

Whilst City would like to cash in on Maynard, they will not let him leave for below what they see as his value.

Maynard himself, meanwhile, is seemingly in no hurry to make a deadline day move - knowing he can leave for nothing in the summer when his contract expires.

Sky Bet Odds

Countdown to deadline day and we've got all the latest markets - including Tevez to sign for AC Mian 15/8, Jelavic to sign for West Ham 11/2 and Maynard to sign for Wolves 5/1. Bet Now.

West Brom, Stoke, Fulham, Southampton and West Ham have all been strongly linked, whilst a move to Wigan failed to materialise last week as the player was not keen on a switch to the DW Stadium.

Now Wolves will hope they can strike a deal with both the player and club, but time is running out for something to happen.
