# Wolves: Steve Bull talks up Dwight McNeil move

**[Wolves legend](https://web.archive.org/web/20080513110117/http://www.wolves.premiumtv.co.uk/page/GoldenOldies/0%2C%2C10307~65346%2C00.html) Steve Bull has called for the club sign Burnley star Dwight McNeil this summer, in an exclusive with [Football FanCast](https://www.footballfancast.com/wolves-transfer-rumours/exclusive-steve-bull-wolves-transfer-rumours-dwight-mcneil-burnley-e52).**

McNeil has enjoyed another impressive season for the Clarets, standing out as a creative talent in a team known for being [relatively one-dimensional](https://backpagefootball.com/sean-dyche-and-burnley-pragmatic-old-fashioned-yet-supremely-effective/113513/).

The 21-year-old has chipped in with [two goals and three assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/357427/Show/Dwight-McNeil) in the Premier League in 2020/21 to date, catching the eye with his left foot, not least when he scored a [screamer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mh1PjslPjdM) at Everton recently.

Wolves have been [linked](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11708/12047278/dwight-mcneil-juventus-leicester-ac-milan-wolves-eye-burnley-winger) with a move for McNeil in the past and it could be that the English youngster wants a fresh challenge ahead of next season.

### Bull wants Wolves to sign McNeil

Someone who views the Burnley midfielder as a great option for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side is Bull, saying his development could be sped up at Molineux:

> “It’s very rare that talented players like that go under the radar, Leicester found one in James Maddison. So, yeah all day long I’d take him.
>
> “Put him in a good side full of talented and skilful players like we’ve got and it might bring him on leaps and bounds.
>
> “So, you never know what might happen but, any new kids on the block will be good for the club.”

### Transfer Tavern take

McNeil is a footballer with huge potential, and with all due respect to Burnley, he could thrive more in a team with similarly creative players.

The thought of him dovetailing with the likes of Pedro Neto and Daniel Podence is a mouthwatering one, so Wolves should listen to Bull and consider a move for the Clarets youngster, especially with Adama Traore having [such an unproductive season](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdaten/spieler/204103).
