TWTD understands that Wolves winger Stephen Hunt is on boss Mick McCarthy’s wish-list of potential January signings. Hunt, 31, is out of contract at Molineux next summer, having rarely featured since StÃ¥le Solbakken took over as manager.
Hunt was brought to Wolves from Hull City by McCarthy for £3 million in the summer of 2010 and the Irishman, capped 39 times by his country, scoring one goal, was a regular for the next two seasons.
The Laois-born left-sided midfielder is currently sidelined having undergone hip surgery — he’s due back in action in January — but even before that had appeared only twice this season, on both occasions in the Capital One Cup, once as an extra-time sub.
Hunt, who is 5ft 8in tall, was previously with Crystal Palace, Brentford, Reading and Hull City.
McCarthy confirmed that he has already started working towards landing his January targets in Tuesday’s match programme: "We are building a picture of what we need here and are constantly looking at and talking about the squad.
"I'm already speaking to managers with January in mind, but I know what they are going to say. It's the usual stuff - come back nearer the time when they have a better idea of whether they are going to get their own targets.”
