Mancienne Signs For Wolves On Loan

Wolves have completed the signing of Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne on loan.
The defender has signed a season-long deal with the Premier League new-boys, after the clubs decided a loan fee and Wolves captain Jody Craddock believes Mancienne can use his loan spell at Molineux to follow Joleon Lescott into England's World Cup squad.
The 34-year-old told the Express and Star: "He'll be playing Premier League football here which will be fantastic for him, because we all saw what that did for Joleon Lescott.
"He started playing well for Everton, scored goals and he got himself into the England squad. Michael has got every chance to prove himself here and do the same.
"That will be in his head - he's going to want to play and get himself noticed for the World Cup squad."

Matic Convinced Of Switch

Chelsea are poised to sign Serbian midfielder Nemanja Matic from Slovakian club Kosice within days, according to the player, The Daily Telegraph reports.
Matic, 20, who has represented Serbia at youth level, also claims that Middlesbrough are keen on signing him, but eould prefer a move to Chelsea.
"The London club are very interested about seeing me in their ranks this summer," he said.
"I've left the whole matter up to my agents. The talks are being conducted on a daily basis and I think that everything will soon be finished.
"All in all, there's a big possibility that I'll become a Chelsea player in the next few days.
"It's important that my club Kosice, where I won recognition as a player, is satisfied.
"I have a contract with them for another one-and-a-half years and I hope that it will end in the best possible way."
