Wolves reject new Matt Jarvis bid

Wolves today rejected another bid from West Ham for winger Matt Jarvis.

The Hammers' latest offer is believed to be in the region of a £9.5m package, with £6.5m up front and the rest in add-ons.

That is a £500,000 increase on the bid Wolves rejected from the Londoners last Friday, but it still was not enough to tempt the Molineux board.

West Ham appear to have outbid Fulham, whose last offer was believed to have been £4.5m made last week and fell way short of the club's valuation.

Wolves do not want to sell the one-capped England winger, but with the 26-year-old keen to leave to stay in the Premier League, the club are reluctantly looking to push the bidding up to the £10m mark.

Jarvis is understood to prefer a move to West Ham.

Attention now switches towards Saturday's Championship opener at Leeds, but it remains to be seen whether Jarvis or Steven Fletcher will be considered for the trip to Elland Road. Both have trained all week.

Wolves also must decide what happens to keeper Dorus De Vries, who is understood to have set his heart on joining Liverpool.

The club have rejected two bids for the 31-year-old Dutchman, who has told Wolves he wants to go to Anfield.

But the signs are that the Reds are turning their attentions elsewhere as they are not prepared to meet Wolves' seven-figure valuation.

Wolves are still looking at other goalkeepers to fill the breach in the event of De Vries rejoining his old Swansea boss Brendan Rodgers on Merseyside.

Slovakia international Marian Kello, 29, remains under consideration while Fulham's David Stockdale is another name who has been discussed.

But Wolves sources say they are not in talks to sign the 26-year-old, as has been reported elsewhere.

The club have also reacted coolly to suggestions of interest in young Chelsea midfielder Josh McEachran, as boss Stale Solbakken is happy with the number of players in the middle at the moment, despite allowing Nenad Milijas to leave.

Wolves report no interest in Milijas.
