adminWolves Monitoring Both U21 and U19 Euros Amid Transfer Interest in Elliott and Heerkens.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have had their eyes firmly on both the Under-21 and Under-19 European Championships this summer, with two potential signings catching the club’s attention.
One of those is Liverpool’s Harvey Elliott, who is reportedly open to a move after a frustrating season under new Reds boss Arne Slot. Despite earning a second Premier League winners’ medal, the 22-year-old made just two league starts and is now eager for more consistent opportunities elsewhere.
Elliott boosted his stock during the U21 Euros, shining for England as they lifted the trophy with a win over Germany. His standout performances, including five goals in six games, earned high praise from manager Lee Carsley and may tempt Wolves into making a move.
However, Elliott isn’t the only rising talent Wolves are tracking. According to Czech outlet Infotbal, the club has also registered interest in Dutch goalkeeper Joeri Heerkens, who plays for Sparta Prague’s B team.
The 19-year-old impressed at the U19 European Championship, where he helped the Netherlands win the tournament. His displays also caught the eye of Ajax—his boyhood club—as well as Italian side Como, meaning Wolves may have to present a compelling offer to secure his signature.
Heerkens’ stats from the tournament highlight his potential:
5 appearances
3 clean sheets
Only 3 goals conceded (0.6 per game)
25 saves
100% success in run-outs
Average Sofascore rating: 7.70
With Wolves reportedly in the market for a new goalkeeper, Heerkens could be a long-term option. But given Ajax’s interest and the player’s support for the Dutch giants, it may take a strong pitch—potentially the lure of Premier League football—to win him over.
Both Elliott and Heerkens had outstanding summers with their national teams, and Wolves will be hoping to capitalise on that momentum as they reshape their squad for the new season.
