Hamilton have accepted a bid for James McCarthy

Hamilton could be about to lose James McCarthy to the Premiership after the club accepted a £2m offer from Wolves. The newly-promoted Molineux side are willing to invest to challenge to stay in the English top-flight which will make Hamilton cash rich but asset poor. All that remains is for the the Republic of Ireland Under-21 international to hold talks with the English side. McCarthy has been the source of constant speculation about his future, having been linked with Celtic, Burnley and Portsmouth in recent months. But if he likes the set up and can agree a suitable personal deal he could be set to join Brian Easton in England's top-flight next term after his former Accies team-mate sealed a move to Burnley.

Wolves were knocked back when they initially approached Hamilton earlier this week, before coming back with an improved bid of more than £2million. Asked if it would be a blow to lose McCarthy, Hamilton boss Billy Reid said "I think that's an understatement. To lose James would be a blow, the same as it was a blow to lose Brian. But it's not at that stage yet. That's really all I can say at the moment."
