Cesar Peixoto confirms Wolves defender Ladislav Krejci will stay
Peixoto was asked about the future of Krejci following his inclusion in the squad at West Ham.
Cesar Peixoto has confirmed defender Ladislav Krejci will remain at Wolves, after he returned to the match day squad for their 4-2 defeat at West Ham United on Tuesday night.
Krejci had not been involved in each of Wolves’ previous three match day squads in the Championship in the wake of speculation surrounding his future this summer.
The Czechia international has only played six minutes for Wolves this season, which came as a late substitute during their 3-0 win at Port Vale in the Carabao Cup first round on August 7.
He was named among the substitutes for the trip to the London Stadium, but did not feature for Wolves from the bench.
The 27-year-old had been linked with a move to Ipswich Town and also turned down the advances of West Ham, but Peixoto has revealed he will remain at Molineux beyond the deadline.
“Krejci stays with us. He’s an important player and we try to get him 100 per cent to start to play,” boss Peixoto said.
“He has to work hard to be part of the starting XI and to play in the matches.”
Krejci scored twice in 32 appearances for the Old Gold in all competitions last term.
