Despite having one near £1m offer turned away for central defender Lucien Mettomo a fortnight ago, Wolves, as exclusively revealed in M.E.N. Sport, are proving persistent suitors and are ready to renew their interest in the 26-year-old Cameroon World Cup star.
They hope to team him with another new man, Jody Craddock, at the heart of their defence, with ex-Bury star and City fan Paul Butler expected to be the man to make way if the deal goes through.
Mettomo played 20 games in his first season for the Blues, but only three last term, and despite a bold showing for his country in the Confederations Cup in France, has not made an impact in pre-season.
Ironically, Mettomo will be one of the players pencilled to take part in a memorial match on November 11 in memory of his great friend, Marc Vivien Foe. It is envisaged that the game will take place between Cameroon and a team made up of players from Foe’s former clubs Lens, Lyon and City.
