Wolves Linked With Barton

Last updated : 10 April 2011 By @pnemad

Barton who has been a part of the first team set up for a year now has been a feature of Preston's team this season with some impressive performances.

Liverpool have expressed an interest with Sammy Lee monitoring the progress of Barton who has played for Northern Ireland and the Republic before deciding where his allegiances lie at international level.

Mick McCarthy ruled his eye over Barton as he went to Reading to witness Preston's defeat away. In January, chairman Lindsay said that there was no necessity to sell Barton but that may well change if the Whites are playing League One football next season.
