No Loan, But Possible Permanent Deal For Hassan

13th January 2004

Wolves Manager Dave Jones has revealed that signing Hassan Kachloul until the end of the season is not an option and a permanent transfer would be  the only way for Kachloul to remain at Molineux.

 Kachloul has yet to start a game for Wolves this season since he joined from neighbors Aston Villa in the Summer Transfer Window on a 3-month loan which ends on January 17th.

 However, despite failing to start, Kachloul was a second half substitute in the game which saw Wolves overturn a 3-0 deficit into a 4-3 outstanding victory over Leicester City.

 "He`s (Kachloul) only got a short while left until the loan runs out and we are unable to extend it so we have a decision to make now. " Said Dave Jones.

 "The only way to keep Hassan would be to buy him. He`s come here and has been unfortunate with injuries and illness but if it suits us and it suits him then it could be an option" added the Manager.

 It is believed that Kachloul`s high wages may be a stumbling block for Wolves, but as Kachloul has made his intentions to stay at Molineux clear then it is unlikely he will reject a wage-cut.
