Four Prem Clubs Chase Wilko

Last updated : 16 August 2011 By Dan Buxton

Stoke defender Andy Wilkinson is a wanted man, with four Premier League clubs chasing his signature.

Newly promoted Queens Park Rangers along with Black Country pair West Bromwich Albion and Wolverhampton Wanderers and North West side Blackburn Rovers have all shown interest in the City right back, with them reportedly preparing bids to prise away the lifelong Potter.

Wilkinson, 27, graduated through the clubs academy before making his debut in December 2001 and has since racked up 100 starts, and 25 substitute appearances for the Potters.

The Stone born defender has spent the last few seasons in and out of the Potters first team but has managed to break back into the first XI every time and played in the Potters FA Cup final appearance in May.
