Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken has ruled out the prospect of Bakary Sako being allowed to leave the club in January.

The 24-year-old is reportedly being watched by scouts from the Premier League as he continues to impress following his summer switch from Saint-Etienne.

However, when Solbakken was asked if the winger could leave during the transfer window, the Birmingham Mail quotes him as saying: "No, not at all – that's out of the question.

"Supporters shouldn't be worried about that. There are no discussions about that at all.

"[Interest in Sako] is something we have to live with – as long as we have television sets, people will look at him."

Sako has 10 caps for the French Under-21s.
