Hull City boss Shota Arveladze has addressed the future of Mallik Wilks and Jacob Greaves amid interest.
Sheffield Wednesday have been chasing Wilks after reportedly agreeing personal terms with the striker, while Middlesbrough have bad a £5 million bid rejected for Greaves.
While the former has only played six minutes of football under Arveladze, the ex-Rangers striker wants him to remain at the club.
On Wilks, Arveladze said: “I am not expecting him to leave, I am expecting him to use all his energy to play with us.
“He had a good pre-season. Unfortunately, he missed eight days because of a small pain. Now he is back again and I hope he gets his chance, whether that is 10, 25 or 45 minutes.
“I never wanted him to leave. It is his turn to show he wants to stay and play.”
Meanwhile, the boss was also happy to see bids for Greaves rejected, claiming: “It’s always positive that if people want to buy our players.”
