Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken insists that he wants to keep Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher at Molineux, but he admits that he may struggle to do so if "bigger fish" come calling.

Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Stale Solbakken has insisted that he wants to keep forward duo Kevin Doyle and Steven Fletcher at the club.

However, the Norwegian boss, who has already agreed a deal to bring Lillestrom striker Bjorn Sigurdarson to Molineux for £2.4m, admits that it may be difficult to hold on to his star players this summer.

"Fletcher and Kevin Doyle and the other strikers are experienced players we want to continue having here, but everyone knows that in football money talks, so I can't promise anything," said Solbakken. "They're players of great value for us and at this moment in time they're Wolves players. I hope they will be at the start of the season.

"There are no offers at the moment. If there are key players who we rely on here that, for one reason or another leave, the club we must have very good players coming in to fill their roles.

"This doesn't just apply to us, this is the same is for any team. But there's always one bigger fish out there that you have to keep up with."

Sunderland and Stoke City are said to be interested in Fletcher's signature.
