Mulgrew is a Scotland Under-21 international

Southend United are trying to bring Wolves left-back Charlie Mulgrew back to the club on a permanent deal.

The Scot, 22, spent three months on loan at Roots Hall last season, helping the Blues to the League One play-offs.

Mulgrew returned to Molineux at the end of the campaign, which has left Southend without a left-back.

Manager Steve Tilson told BBC Essex: "We're speaking to Wolves to see what offer they'll accept but it will all come down to the fee and player wages."
