Nigerian midfielder put on transfer list
Seyi Olofinjana is set to leave Wolves after the Nigerian had a transfer request accepted.
The midfielder has spent four years at Molineux and only signed a new contract through to 2011 last October.
He admitted in May that he was looking forward to the new season with Wolves and said there was a 'very good' chance he would be staying at the club.
However, Wolves have now confirmed that Olofinjana's name has been circulated following a previous agreement between the club and player.
Served Wolves well
"At the time of signing a new contract with Seyi last year, we agreed that, should the club miss out on promotion at the end of the 2007/08 season, we would circulate his name for transfer if that is what he wished," Wolves' CEO Jex Moxey told the club's
official website.
"As expected, Seyi has made that request and we are therefore following through on our commitment and he has been placed on the transfer list.
"As an experienced senior international player who has not only served Wolves well, but re-signed instead of holding out to become a free agent this summer, he has given us the opportunity of recouping our financial investment in him to help buy new players."
Sunderland and West Bromwich Albion have been linked with Olofinjana, who cost Wolves £1.7million from Brann Bergen in July 2004.
