WOLVES will table a £20million bid for Welsh wizard Joe Allen — and give him a Premier League lifeline.
The Championship winners intend to bring in a couple of quality additions to their squad, already packed with foreign stars.
Stoke midfield general Allen tops their wish-list as they look to add an experienced domestic player.
The 28-year-old could be tempted to make the short trip down the M6 as the Potters face the drop and a major overhaul in the summer window.
Stoke would want good money for the former Liverpool player, who was initially a big hit when then boss Mark Hughes brought him.
Allen is on huge contract at Stoke and they may be grateful to shed his wages from their payroll as they look to build afresh.
Manager Paul Lambert seems set to carry on and he could be dealing with his old club over one of the first exits post-relegation.
The Scot could be keen on some Wolves players, with Ben Marshall among his favourites.
The wideman has excelled on loan at Millwall.
