Wolverhampton Wanderers deny Ibrahim Keita blackmail

Championship side Wolverhampton Wanderers have rejected claims that they gave Ibrahim Keita a 'sign or you won't play' ultimatum when trying to negotiate a new contract.

Wolves boss Kenny Jackett has insisted that multiple offers have been made to the the 19-year-old after the player's agent yesterday claimed blackmail.

"We've made Ibrahim Keita three very good and improved offers and he's turned those down," Jackett told the Express & Star.

"We're disappointed with that, but we understand that's his choice. He doesn't see his future being here now. I think his agent's choice of words and his stance are wrong, but that's his opinion."

Keita, whose contract expires this summer, will have to find a new club after never making an appearance for Wolves.
