Chelsea are ready to be Wolves' loan arrangers again after offering them left-back Ryan Bertrand for next season.

The Stamford Bridge club, who have loaned Wolves Michael Mancienne for the last three seasons, have provided boss Mick McCarthy with a potential solution to their left-back dilemma by putting forward the England Under-21 international.

McCarthy is again seeking competition for George Elokobi and Stephen Ward to fill the gap left by £2.5m Jelle van Damme, who failed to settle at Molineux.

Bertrand, who has 15 under-21 caps and is set to continue his ever-present European Championships record for Stuart Pearce's side against Czech Republic in Denmark tomorrow, is one of several options Wolves are currently looking at in that position.

Another is Liverpool's Paul Konchesky, who is available for a fraction of the £3.5m they paid Fulham last summer.

McCarthy tried to take the former West Ham full-back in January only for red tape to block the move because he had already played for Fulham and Liverpool last season.

Contact has again been made with Konchesky's representatives from Wolves.

But McCarthy, who has priced out of a move for Birmingham's Scott Dann but still wants Blues' men Roger Johnson and Craig Gardner, has other irons in the fire and Bertrand is an option.

No stranger to loan spells, Bertrand started his career at Gillingham with Matt Jarvis and has played 146 League games in seven spells at five clubs since turning pro at Chelsea.

The player is a converted winger but has struggled to break through at Stamford Bridge because of Ashley Cole.

Meanwhile, out-of-contract Swansea keeper Dorus De Vries is the latest keeper to be linked with Wolves.

The 30-year-old has so far stalled on a new deal at the Championship play-off winners.

Dutch-born De Vries has been a huge hit at the Liberty Stadium, making 178 League appearances since arriving from Dunfermline four years ago, following spells with Telstar and ADO Den Haag.

Reading's Adam Federici has also come under Wolves' scrutiny. The club are set to announce the signing of a Championship keeper next week.
