TRANSFER LATEST: Paul Jewell eyes move for Wolves defender George Elokobi as Sean St Ledger linked again
GEORGE Elokobi is the man wanted by Paul Jewell to replace Damien Delaney.
The left-sided Wolves defender, who started his career at Colchester United, has fallen down the pecking order at Molineux under new boss Stale Solbakken.
The 26-year-old 6ft powerhouse defender, largely a left-back but who can also play in the centre, has not started a single game for Wolves this season having spent half of last year on loan at Nottingham Forest.
In 2010/11, he made 32 appearances as Wolves stayed up in the Premier League.
With Damien Delaney’s exit confirmed by the club this afternoon, Jewell is desperately looking to improve the centre of his defence with just Luke Chambers and Tommy Smith the current options.
