Wolves ready to sell Shackell
On-loan Canaries defender Jason Shackell has been told he is no longer wanted at Wolves. Mick McCarthy's preparations for life in the Premier League has started with a clear-out of his fringe players at Molineux, and that includes the 25-year-old, who moved from Norwich to the Black Country last August only to return on loan in February having failed to hold down a first team place.

McCarthy wants to recoup some of the estimated �1m he paid for Shackell, and that could rule City out of the equation, whether they survive the drop or not.
Shackell made just three Championship starts for Wolves where he had a host of rivals for the centre back spot - and where McCarthy is hoping to strengthen even further in the summer.

Transfer-listed Darren Potter and Darren Ward, on loan to Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton respectively, are also in danger of being shipped out.
“Darren Ward, Darren Potter and Jason Shackell are on the list,” said McCarthy. “There will be some others, but they're not for public consumption at the moment.”
