urnley striker Steven Fletcher is reportedly set to move to Wolves for £7.5million, with two Molineux stars heading the other way on loan.[LNB] Fletcher joined the Clarets last summer from Hibernian for £3million but following his side's relegation to the Championship last season could now be on his way out of Turf Moor.[LNB]The 23-year-old Scotland international put in a number of admirable performances for Burnley last term, despite Brian Laws' men going on a terrible run which saw them drop out of the top-flight at the first time of asking.[LNB]Wolves, on the other hand, found some good form this year and steered clear of the Premier League's relegation zone, finishing the campaign 15th in the table.[LNB]Manager Mick McCarthy has signalled his intention to strengthen his squad during the off-season, and Fletcher is understood to be high on his list of priorities.[LNB]Wolves only managed 32 league goals last term - the fewest of any team in the division - and Fletcher could provide the necessary quality to pose more of a threat in the final third.[LNB]In a struggling Burnley side he managed eight goals in 35 league starts, and is now set for a big-money move to Molineux.[LNB]And it appears Wolves duo Wayne Hennessey and Chris Iwelumo are set to go the other way and join the Clarets on loan.[LNB]Goalkeeper Hennessey did make 13 Premier League starts last season but is not Wolves' No.1 stopper, while striker Iwelumo did not find the net once in 17 appearances.
