Plymouth Argyle are leading the race to sign Wolves striker Niall Ennis, according to Alan Nixon.

Ennis has spent the first half of the season on loan in League One with Burton Albion, as he looks to get regular game time under his belt away from Molineux

The 21-year-old has made 10 appearances for the Brewers in all competitions, but is yet to find the net for Jimmy-Floyd Hasselbaink's side.

After failing to score in six league starts for Burton, the striker could be set to leave the Pirelli Stadium and be recalled by Wolves.

Plymouth Argyle, though, have seemingly seen enough in Ennis to want to sign him, though.

According to Alan Nixon, the Pilgrims are leading the race to sign Ennis in what would presumably been a loan deal.

Ennis has made only one senior appearance for Wolves, and finds himself way down the pecking order at Molineux at the moment.

Argyle currently sit 15th in League One, and will be hoping to climb up the table between now and the end of the season.

The Verdict

This is a bit of a surprise.

Ennis hasn't exactly set the world alight for Burton, who are struggling towards the bottom end of League One.

Plymouth are doing okay, though, and Ryan Lowe has obviously seen something in Ennis if they are looking to sign him.

Luke Jephcott has been on fire for Argyle this season, though, so whether that means Ennis is coming in as a replacement remains to be seen.
