Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui says player contract talks are on hold.

Lopetegui says the priority is Premier League safety.

Joao Moutinho and Diego Costa will see their deals expire in the summer, while the club is yet to trigger the two-year extension in Nelson Semedo's contract.

Lopetegui said: It is not the moment to talk about the future of any player.

It is important to put the focus and all our spirit in the match. The only important thing is the future of the club.

The rest of us are professionals and all of us are working for the club.

We can't spend all time and energy talking about the future of anyone. The only future I know is to be able to compete at Leicester as a final and we have to be ready."

The head coach did expand more on Moutinho's importance, however, when asked where his future lies.

Lopetegui added: Joao is an important player for us and has been one of the midfielders that has played more than the rest since I have been here. But I don't talk about the future of any player, it's not the moment."
