Wolves pass on Crewe striker Max Clayton

Crewe Alexandra striker Max Clayton remains available.

The 20-year-old has spent the last four weeks training with Kenny Jackett's side, but the Wolves boss doesn't expect their interest to be taken any further.

"We're not willing to sign him and risk a tribunal," Jackett told the Express & Star.

"It seems to have passed at present. We have a certain valuation and Crewe have a certain valuation. We haven't met that, so he stopped training with us.

"He is a good young player and I think, in six to 18 months, has some real development in him but right now for us to take someone at that price is not quite right.

"I do like him, but I don't think he'd come in and replace one of our first team players right now. You have to consider that."

Before Wolves, Clayton also impressed at Sunderland in early preseason trials.
