The 33-year-old left-back is being targeted to add more experience and competition to Wolves' squad, and could follow Matt Doherty through the door with talks under way.

Wolves are hopeful of completing a deal in the region of £2.5million, as negotiations continue.

Cresswell is currently with West Ham on their pre-season tour of Australia, but did not play in their 3-2 win over Spurs on Tuesday.

The defender has a year left on his deal and was in and out of the West Ham team last season.

If Wolves manage to complete the transfer, it could open the door for Rayan Ait-Nouri to leave on loan and could see Ryan Giles sold, with several clubs chasing his signature.

As a result, it would leave Cresswell and Hugo Bueno to battle for the left-back spot.

Wolves are also still in talks for Borussia Monchengladbach centre-back Nico Elvedi and Bristol City midfielder Alex Scott.
