Wolves boss Jackett doesn't want to lose Leicester target Sako

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett insists Bakary Sako is not for sale.

The winger, a target for Leicester City, struck twice in victory over Blackburn Rovers.

Jackett said: "Sako has been really good in my time here I have always generally picked him which is a reflection of what a manager thinks of a player.

"I think he is a very good player. I think he is a very good character. They will be the two things in my time here that I will judge him on.

"He is popular with the crowd and I didn't think when I came in 14 months ago he was one of the ones that really needed a fresh start.

"I felt he was well thought of and in the season that they went down he had a good year in the Championship.

"He is not someone that are looking to try to sell. To do business at this time is unrealistic as well.

"Over the last couple of seasons there have been different rumours but it is not something we are looking to entertain."
