Kenny Jackett: 'Africa Cup of Nations could lead to Bakary Sako interest'

Kenny Jackett has conceded that Bakary Sako's involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations could lead to increased transfer interest from other clubs.

The French-born winger is part of Mali's 22-man squad for the tournament, which gets underway later this month.

However, the Wolverhampton Wanderers manager told the Birmingham Mail: "There's always speculation about Sako all of the time and he's a good player.

"Him going away, does it give him more profile or is it harder to get hold of him? It could work either way."

Sako joined Wolves from Saint-Etienne in 2012, and has scored seven goals in 24 appearances this season.
