Mick McCarthy: 'Steven Fletcher not for sale'

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has insisted that striker Steven Fletcher is not for sale.

The 24-year-old has scored five goals in his last six Premier League matches for the Midlands club.

"He's a Premier League player scoring goals so he's going to get headlines. Players always do when they're scoring goals," McCarthy told the Express & Star.

Asked if he believed if there would be interest in the Scot, McCarthy said: "No. If I say yes then I've suddenly put him up for sale haven't I? So, categorically - no."

Wolves, who are currently 17th in the Premier League table, host Stoke City on Saturday.
