Stale Solbakken "convinced" of Bakary Sako stay

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken has revealed that he does not expect to lose the services of Bakary Sako during the upcoming January transfer window.

The 24-year-old is believed to have impressed a handful of Premier League clubs since joining Wolves from Saint-Etienne during the summer.

As a result, the attacker has been linked with a switch away from Molineux at the turn of the year.

However, Solbakken has insisted that he has been given no indication that a move is forthcoming.

"There's nothing that points in the direction to say he's going to go," Solbakken told reporters. "So I don't think that's the case at all.

"I'm quite confident he'll stay and in fact, I'm convinced of that."

Solbakken has scored six goals so far this season.
