Wolves eyeing up loan move for Stefan Savic

Wolves are eyeing a move for Manchester City defender Stefan Savic – but look like having to move players on first.

Savic, a 21-year-old Montenegro international, is understood to be the centre-back identified by new manager Stale Solbakken to strengthen his side's leaky defence.

The former Partizan Belgrade stopper may be available on a season-long loan if City can sign another central defender.

Described by City as "one of the brightest young talents in European football", Savic has seven full caps, scoring twice.

Savic was Roberto Mancini's second summer signing when he penned a four-year deal last July but has had to wait for his chance behind Vincent Kompany, former Wolves man Joleon Lescott and Pablo Zabaleta. But there are obstacles in the way of Savic becoming a Wolves player.

The pending signing of Bjorn Bergmann Sigurdarson and captures of Frank Nouble and Jamie Tank take the number of professionals at Wolves to a whopping 50

And it is understood that tally may have to be trimmed before Solbakken can add to his squad.

As it stands, Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis will be returning to Wolves for pre-season training with no developments yet on the duo, who want to remain in the Premier League.
