Wolves take direct approach in loan business
- Published
It was an interesting team sheet at Wolves Under-21s' game with Blackburn on Friday night, just one example of what clubs can do to signal player availability.
Wolves made the decision to make it clear to any scouts present who was available for loan, without them having to ask the question.
The team sheet was also circulated to EFL clubs so they were aware just who could be allowed out on loan ahead of tonight's deadline.
Wolves wanted to save time and speed up the process - saving clubs and scouts picking up the phone to ask - for their youngsters, who went on to beat Blackburn 3-1 in Premier League 2.
They have been keen to send right-back Pedro Lima out on loan, having beaten Chelsea to his signature last summer.
Alfie Pond has made six senior appearances and is available along with Harvey Griffiths and Daniel Angel.
Jamaica international Dexter Lembikisa, who has spent time at Hearts, Barnsley and Rotherham, can also leave on loan.
