Chelsea winger Scott Sinclair could become a Wolves player in the January transfer window.

The Championship clubs manager, Mick McCarthy tried to sign Sinclair in the summer but a deal could not be done and now he is interested in securing his services on a loan deal.

"I've contacted Chelsea about Scott Sinclair and he can't come out until the window, so everyone knows I've got an interest in him," said McCarthy in the Express and Star.

"But there were about 22 other clubs interested in him at the time, which was when we lost Jarvis. I rang instantly and we tried them all - Scott Sinclair, Carlos Edwards and other names. I still like Scott as a player.

"We looked to see what we could do and we got Carlos. I would love to have still had him here, but that's not the case. But all that could change."

Wolves are currently on top of the Championship table and a player like Sinclair would only increase their promotion chances.
