Wolves are 'very interested' in making a move for Middlesbrough centre-back Dael Fry this summer, according to transfer expert Dean Jones.

The Lowdown: Fry impressing for Boro

The 24-year-old is enjoying another impressive season for Boro, making 19 appearances in the Championship and helping his side sit seventh in the table.

Fry also tasted victory away to Manchester United in the FA Cup last week, as he prevented Cristiano Ronaldo from scoring and kept him largely quiet throughout.

The 6 foot 1 ace has been linked with a move to Wolves in the summer, as Bruno Lage eyes up potential new signings.

The Latest: Wolves back to make signing

Speaking to Give Me Sport, Jones confirmed Wanderers' interest in Fry, claiming Scott Sellars and co are indeed 'looking' at him:

"Dael Fry and Tavernier are obviously making headlines at the moment following Middlesbrough’s great win.

"Both of those players will be available in the summer if Middlesbrough don’t manage to win promotion. So, there are a lot of Premier League clubs looking at these two players, Dael Fry, in particular, Wolves, Brighton, West Ham and Southampton are all very interested in him."

The Verdict: Good for squad depth

Fry may not be someone who would come in as a guaranteed starter, given his lack of Premier League experience, but he is a dominant presence who has won a mammoth 4.2 aerial duels per game in the league this season.

With Romain Saiss and Willy Boly now in their 30s and Conor Coady edging towards that milestone, however, the Englishman could be a future starter for Wolves.

At 24, Fry is at a great age in terms of his peak being ahead of him and he may simply be a player who is now too good for the Championship and is ready to make the step up.
