Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Mick McCarthy has played down his interest in signing Michael Mancienne - the Chelsea youngster who spent last season on loan at Molineux - at least for the time being.
The Wolves boss has made six signings thus far this summer, but has been constantly linked with a £4 million move for the Blues youngster, who has reportedly has put in a transfer request at his club.
And McCarthy, who used Mancienne predominantly as a holding midfielder last season, said: "I guess people should ask their [Chelsea's] manager Carlo Ancelotti whether we should read anything into the transfer request.
"If I was reading anything into it, I suggest he wants a transfer. But that's the first I've heard about it."
And McCarthy went on to play down the rumours further, insisting that he needs to off-load players before making further additions to his squad.
"I'm not looking at signings at all at the moment," he added.
"We need to lose some players rather than take any more in and certainly won't do any more business unless anyone leaves."

Rob Stewart reports from the Stadium of Light: FA Cup legend Jimmy Montgomery is Sunderland's first official club ambassador. The former goalkeeper, whose double-save in the Black Cats' famous 1973 final victory over Leeds has gone down in Wearside folklore, will attend functions on behalf of the club and mingle with guests in the hospitality suites at the Stadium of Light on matchdays. Manager Martin O'Neill, who played with Monty at Nottingham Forest, said: "I had the pleasure of playing with Jim when we were both managed by Brian Clough. He was just a fantastic person - oh, and a magnificent goalkeeper as well.”

LIVERPOOL GOAL: Crikey. This was in the script for all Liverpool fans, I’m sure. After Michael Carrick is booked for a trip on Luis Suarez, the ball takes a fortunate ricochet off Rio Ferdinand inside the area from the resulting free kick and the Uruguayan is on hand to stab home from close range. All to play for.

Greg Stobart reports from Old Trafford: “We’re having a bit of a lull here, on and of the pitch, but I don’t think the drama is over this afternoon. It’s been a while since I’ve seen Kenny Dalglish so passive on the touchline - he’s looking rather fed up as United look to see the game out as we head into the final 10 minutes. The visitors have never got going in the second half and United are looking very comfortable at the moment as they dominate possession.”
