Leyton Orient defender Dan Happe is thriving in a back-three which makes him perfect for Wolves
Wolverhampton Wanderers are one of the clubs aiming to raid non-league Leyton Orient for one of their brightest young talents.
, Wolves face competition from Brighton & Hove Albion and Norwich City for Leyton Orient defender Dan Happe.
Wolves could land Happe for as little as £200,000 as his contract expires in summer 2020 and Leyton Orient will want to avoid losing him on the cheap.
Happe has played 13 times for the O’s this season, helping Justin Edinburgh’s men launch a promotion bid.
The East London outfit are top of the National League by two points with two games in hand and have reached the final of the FA Trophy.

Happe has played a key role in this success and will want to lead Leyton Orient back to the Football League after a two-year hiatus in non-league.
But after that, a move to Wolves surely appeals. And his style of play makes him the perfect candidate to fill Nuno Espirito Santo’s long-term plan.
The 20-year-old has recently been operating as a left-sided centre-back in a defensive back-three under Edinburgh.
This switch is paying dividends for both Leyton Orient and Happe, who is thriving in this new system.
The Londoner is comfortable with the ball at his feet, strong in the tackle and his towering frame gives him an advantage in aerial duels.
After winning Leyton Orient’s Player of the Month award in January and February in this new position, it is clear that he is the perfect fit for Wolves.
