Wolverhampton Wanderers 'register interest in Middlesbrough's Marcus Tavernier'

Wolverhampton Wanderers have reportedly joined the growing list of Premier League clubs interested in Middlesbrough midfielder Marcus Tavernier.

The 21-year-old has started all 22 of Boro's Championship matches this term, scoring twice and assisting a further three goals.

TEAMtalk claims that Tavernier's form has not gone unnoticed and a quartet of top-flight clubs could make a move this month.

Wolves are said to be joined in the race for the England Under-20s international by Leicester City, Leeds United and Everton.

However, the same report suggests that Tavernier is in no rush to leave the Riverside Stadium and will not force a move before the January window closes, leaving the decision down to Boro should a bid be forthcoming.
