Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have expressed their opinions on Twitter over Dwight McNeil’s potential signing for the club.
On Sunday it was reported that Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are interested in bringing the 19-year-old Englishman to Molineux, but face competition from Leicester City and Everton (as per TEAMtalk).
With the starlet impressing for Burnley so far this term, some Wolves fans wanted to see the move happen.
Very good player destined for bigger things.
Would be great if we could get him— David Wollam (@davidwollam) November 4, 2019
He’s an excellent player. Would take him in a heartbeat.

Despite most agreeing that his talents were undeniable, others were deterred by the £30-million figure touted to peel the attacker away from Burnley – with him only rated currently at £13.5 million (per Transfermarkt).
30M . Is he worth it?

Is he really much of an improvement to Cav

McNeil has featured in 11 Premier League outings for Burnley this season, scoring once and assisting three over those games (per Transfermarkt).
Despite his clear ability in England’s top-flight, some supporters were worried about how adaptable the 19-year-old would be to fitting in their system.
Very good young player. Cant see him fitting our system only at LWB and we got Vinagre and Jonny. Could see him at Leicester. If we are looking at players… Jack O Connell please at Sheff Utd.

What do we think?
It is without a doubt, McNeil will only keep improving as a player and is destined for bigger things than Turf Moor (as per Burnley).
If Wolves could beat Leicester and Everton to the signature of the teenage starlet, they would have a very talented young player on their hands (via Lancs Live) – whether he fits in their system or not.
