Wolves have been warned that rivals will monitor Ladislav Krejci despite his permanent signing, after he took man of the match as the Czech Republic drew with South Africa at the Atlanta Stadium.

Micky Gray said: “Ladislav Krejci had a very good first game, obviously got himself on the score sheet.” He was speaking on talkSPORT.

“A lot of talk about him maybe leaving. I know he was on loan at Wolves last season, but he's a talented centre-half and I'm sure there's a lot of Premier League sides to be keeping an eye on how he performs in these games.”

Ian Danter added: “I can't believe he'll stay in the Championship, Mick.” Gray replied: “I don't know. He's got too much talent, hasn't he?”

Danter continued: “He's clearly enjoyed his time at Wolves. But I think there are bigger opportunities for him. And what better way to display those qualities than at a World Cup.”

The 27-year-old joined Wolves on loan from Girona last summer. Despite relegation to the Championship, Wolves activated a buy option of around £26m to make the move permanent, and reports have linked him with Leeds United and Besiktas this summer.
