Wolves manager Mick McCarthy has reiterated that he is not planning to discuss Michael Mancienne's future until the end of the season.
Mancienne has impressed during a season-long loan at Molineux from Chelsea and he has made 30 appearances in all competitions.
He has played at centre-half and as a holding midfielder for Wolves, and has been tipped to spend next season with McCarthy's side.
However, McCarthy wants to wait until the campaign is over before holding talks with Chelsea and Mancienne regarding a possible deal.
McCarthy said: "Have there been talks to extend Mancienne's loan? No, and the reason is if someone asks me about a player I've loaned out, I'd say 'leave it until the end of the season and we'll talk to you then'.
"No-one will make any decisions on players until then.
"They (Chelsea) will want to have a look at all the reports on him from all the games like I do with mine. So I don't ask because I know the answer I'll get.
"Will Mancienne benefit from another year away from Chelsea? I've no idea. There's no point me speaking about it until the end of the season."
Mancienne, who is enjoying his second spell at Wolves, has impressed McCarthy with his ability to adapt into his position just in front of the back four.
He said: "We knew he wasn't just a big head-it-and-kick-it centre-half. He went and performed that midfield role he's currently in, shoring it up for us at Tottenham to start with.
"But he's just got better and better at it. He's only just started at it, but things have developed from how we were at the start of the season.
"We recognised we had to change it and he's found himself a slot there and it will be hard to move him out. He's doing it very well for me and he's doing a terrific job."
