Wolves are closing in on the signing of Hamilton wonderkid James McCarthy, skysports.com understands.

The Premier League new boys are believed to have had a bid accepted by Hamilton for the talented teenager.

McCarthy, who is regarded as one of the best young prospects in British football, has attracted the interest of host of clubs with Portsmouth, Celtic and Burnley all having bids turned down for the midfielder.

Wolves are believed to have had their first offer for McCarthy rejected earlier this week, but Mick McCarthy's men have come back with a new improved offer of over £2million.

Hamilton have reluctantly accepted the offer and McCarthy is thought to be on his way down to Molineux for talks.

Should Wolves secure the Republic of Ireland Under 21 international's signature it would be a massive coup for the club, with McCarthy tipped for a big future in the game.
