Michael Mancienne will sign a new deal with Chelsea before joining Wolves today on a
season-long loan.
The Times says Mancienne is set to conclude the double
deal that will enable him to push for a place in Fabio Capello’s
squad for next summer’s World Cup finals.
The England Under-21 defender is on the verge of signing a new
four-year contract with Chelsea before rejoining Wolverhampton
Wanderers on a season-long loan.
The dual arrangement offers Mancienne, 21, the belief that
Chelsea still rate his long-term potential and the chance to play
regularly for Wolves. It was while on loan at Molineux last season
that the defender earned a call-up to the England senior squad.
Mancienne spent yesterday tying up loose ends over the unusual
arrangement.
