Rest easy, Sporting Kansas City fans: Dom Dwyer isn’t going anywhere.


The English striker was linked on Wednesday morning to Wolverhampton, with at least one outlet reporting that SKC had accepted a transfer bid from the English Championship club for the 26-year-old.


Dwyer poured a bit of fuel on the fire shortly after the report initially surfaced, posting a photo to his Instagram account of him standing on a tarmac in front of a British Airways jet with a caption indicating he was about to take off.



An SKC spokesperson shot down the rumors later on Wednesday, however, telling MLSsoccer.com that Dwyer was at SKC training in the morning and won’t be headed to Wolves before the English transfer window closes later tonight. The spokesperson said that Dwyer used an old photo in his Instagram post.


Dwyer leads Sporting Kansas City with 12 goals in 27 appearances this season. SKC, who are currently in fifth in the Western Conference, are off this weekend. They’ll return to action next Friday, Sept. 9 against the Houston Dynamo.
