Wolves insist Hibernian loan star Griffiths will not leave

Wolves chairman Jez Moxey says striker Leigh Griffiths will remain at the club this summer.

The 22-year old starred on loan for Hibernian last season, scoring 28 goals on his way to a handful of individual awards, but will certainly be returning to the Molineux to help Wolves arrest their slide into England's League One.

"He will absolutely be coming back here to play for us next season," Moxey told The Scotsman.

"We have taken up the one year option on his contract, so he is with us and we will be working him.

"There is absolutely no way that Wolverhampton Wanderers has any interest other than having Leigh Griffiths here in the summer training with us in preparation for a League One campaign.

"He scored a lot of goals for Hibs and they are the one commodity that everyone wants, so why on earth wouldn't we want to keep him?"
