A Twitter post by wantaway striker Steven Fletcher appears to cast some light on the state of play as he looks to exit Molineux.

A statement released through the club reads 'Wolves can confirm that Steven Fletcher has handed in an official transfer request. The player's frustration stems from the fact that several bids have been rejected for his services, none of which meets the club's valuation. As previously stated, no player will leave Wolves unless the club's valuation is met. Wolves will be making no further comment at this time.'.

The response from the player himself was swift, saying simply "Just handed in a transfer request just to let the fans know where I am at right now.... #headsgone".

Sunderland are reported to be in pole position to snap him up should Wolves relent.
