Wolves have dismissed reports linking winger Michael Kightly with a big-money move away from Molineux this summer.

The England Under-21 international has been linked with a number of Premier League clubs, with Kightly's former chairman at Grays Athletic, Mick Woodward, claiming that a deal will be done.

However, Wolves chairman, Jez Moxey, responded by stating: "I was very surprised by Mick Woodward's comments. We've received no enquiries or bids for Michael Kightly.

"Our chairman, Steve Morgan, went on the record at the end of April with a clear and unequivocal message, 'our best young players are not for sale'.

"We've got an exciting young team at Molineux and we are building something special and Michael wants to be a part of that.

"We will not allow this kind of rumour and speculation to disrupt our plans."

Kightly joined Wolves in late 2006 from non-league Grays and has scored 14 goals in 51 appearances for the Molineux club.
