Wolves have reportedly accepted a bid from Leeds for their 28-year-old left-back and many of their fans are shocked and angry at the decision.
Tim Spiers, Wolverhampton correspondant for the Express & Star, made the claim on his personal Twitter page on Wednesday morning after the story was broken in the Daily Mail.
He went on to say that personal terms were being negotiated and it looks like the deal could have legs, but many Wolves fans are unhappy with the reveal that came out of the blue this morning.

Douglas joined for £1million last summer from Dundee United, and he had a standout season in the Championship, scoring five goals and registering a massive 15 assists in just 42 league games.
And, although some Wolves fans think he might be lacking slightly in the Premier League, others are unhappy that he will be on the move to Championship rivals Leeds.
Here are the best reactions from disgruntled Wolves fans:
Brutal but true think Nuno probably thinks may just lack a yard of pace for prem full backs and wingers. And of course I can imagine we are going to make a tidy profit on the deal. Books still need balancing.

I’m genuinely shocked by that. Think that’s the wrong decision. He was integral last season. He deserved his shot in the Prem

OPINION
Wolves loss is Leeds’ gain here. Douglas was brilliant in the Championship last season. He was a huge part of their success and looks like he will now try to do it all over again at Elland Road. Wolves fans are understandably gutted, although some accept that changes have to be made in the Premier League and are resigned to losing him. No one wants to see him go though, with one fan saying his heart sank on hearing the news and another asking if it was a joke. With the story in the Daily Mail and confirmation for Spiers, a very solid source of news for Wolves transfers, it looks like this is far from a joke and that a deal could be wrapped up pretty quickly.
