Boukari dismay as Lee Evans set for loan

Evans has been a regular in Jackett's squad for the past two seasons, making 80 appearances.

But the arrival of Conor Coady from Huddersfield Town means the 20-year-old will be further down the pecking order and he has stayed behind at Compton Park to sort out a move rather than travel to Clairefontaine.

Evans is said to have several options but it is not yet known if Evans will move to a Championship or League One club. Jackett said: "Lee is back at the training ground with Kevin Thelwell pursuing options."

Jackett added: "He can stay and compete for a first team place but we do feel, rather than him being on the fringes particularly with us signing Conor Coady, a season-long loan will be the best thing for his development."

However, the head coach expressed his disappointment at Boukari's continued absence. The Togo international has been injury-free since March and had been working on his fitness, but said he was not yet ready to sprint flat out.

The £2.5m signing from Rennes has made just four league appearances in a Wolves shirt, following a succession of injuries and a loan move to Sochaux.

Jackett said: "I'm personally slightly disappointed that he's not up to speed through the summer – I think that's quite poor.

"His first day assessment with myself was that he didn't feel he could sprint flat out yet and needed two or three weeks to sprint flat out.

"He's back at home working towards that."

Asked if Boukari was in his first team plans or would be sent on loan, Jackett said: "We'll see, I mean he has to get himself fit first."
