Jez Moxey in warning over Wolves sales

Chief executive Jez Moxey today admitted Wolves may still shed more players – despite preparing to lose their 12th this summer.

Nathaniel Mendez-Laing's six-figure sale to Peterborough and the loan of Carl Ikeme to Middlesbrough – both expected to be sealed this weekend – will take the number of departures from Molineux to 12 since May.

Mendez-Laing's sale is the sixth permanent exit with Marcus Hahnemann, David Jones, Greg Halford, Nathan Rooney and Johnny Dunleavy, while the loans of Michael Mancienne and Geoffrey Mujangi Bia expired.

In addition to Ikeme, Steven Mouyokolo, Danny Batth and Scott Malone have already departed on long-term loans.

The club are still keen to offload Stefan Maierhofer, Andy Keogh and Sam Vokes while trying to bring in at least another signing.

Just three players – Jamie O'Hara, Dorus De Vries and Roger Johnson – have come in and Moxey admitted he "doubts" whether they will make a major splash again in this transfer window.

But Moxey stressed the process was all about making the squad leaner and giving fringe players a chance elsewhere.
