Leigh Griffiths holds talks with Dean Saunders over Wolves future HIBERNIAN'S on-loan striker Leigh Griffiths has held talks on his future with the new Wolves manager Dean Saunders and could now get the green light to extend his stay at Easter Road. Griffiths, 22, has been back at Wolves training this week during the SPL's winter break. His Easter Road loan spell comes to an end after the clash with Dundee on 19 January and Hibs" manager Pat Fenlon is desperate to keep him. Saunders said: "I am going to speak to Leigh again on Thursday. It is a difficult situation because, ideally, we want him here every day training. But the boy has got to play football and, if I can't guarantee him a place now in the team, he will want to play and we will want him to play. He has trained with us for the last two days. I spoke to him first on Tuesday and said to him "look, you are due to go back to Scotland on Saturday." But he wanted to meet me and see what I was thinking. So I just said to him, let me have a look at the group, let me have a look for two or three days and get a better idea of where we are. If I do need to sign an expensive striker and he is not going to play then I would rather him go out and play games and learn. But, if he has got a chance of playing, then I will keep him here with me. But I will speak to him first about that before I tell the world. Scotland international Griffiths, 22, has scored 14 goals so far this season. His contract at Wolves expires at the end of the season but the club have an option to extend it until the summer of 2014. Wolves paid Dundee £150,000 to sign Griffiths in January 2011 but his only appearance for the club came in the league cup tie against Northampton Town the following August before he was farmed out to Hibs for his first loan spell at Easter Road. Hibs are also facing a nervous wait in their bid to hold on to Honduran international Jorge Claros, whose loan deal also runs out later this month. The 27-year-old midfielder joined the club on a one-year loan deal from Honduran outfit Motagua in January 2012 and endured a torrid start to life in Leith, culminating in being substituted in the first half during Hibs" 5-1 Scottish Cup final defeat against Hearts. However he has flourished this term and has become an integral part of Fenlon's side, playing 23 times in a re-invigorated Hibs midfield. The SPL side have been in regular contact with Motagua and are thought to be keen to force through another loan deal for the 33-times capped player. Those hopes were last night dealt a significant blow after a director of the Central American side, Julio Gutierrez, confirmed there is strong interest in Claros from other parties and hinted that those clubs may be willing to pay a fee for a permanent deal - something which would be likely to price Hibs out of a move. Gutierrez said: "Hibernian are interested in having the player in their squad and we are considering whether it is the best option for the player and Motagua, where Jorge is still under contract. We are also considering offers from other clubs and we need to come to a decision in the near future. We will decide whether to agree to either a permanent sale or loan depending on what is best for the player. Hibs" third key loanee, Ryan McGivern of Manchester City, is thought to be close to extending his deal at Easter Road. The defender, who has made 15 appearances this term, is completely out of the picture at the big-spending Premiership champions and looks certain to spend the rest of the season in the capital. Meanwhile Hibs youngsters Alex Harris, 18, and Bradley Donaldson, 19, have penned new deals with the Easter Road side which will keep them at the club until the summer of 2014.
