Wallace won promotion to the Championship with the London club at the weekend when Millwall beat Bradford City 1-0 in the League One play-off final at Wembley.

The 23-year-old has enjoyed a productive loan spell with Harris' team – as he did last season – and it seems his future lies away from Molineux.

But Harris would love to make a permanent move for the Portsmouth man, who has found regular football hard to come by at Wolves.

“I feel Jed has really helped us find our form from January onwards – he is a player I’ve got a lot of belief in,” Harris is quoted as saying in London News Online.

“He is a player I’d like to work with at Championship level. But at the moment he is a Wolves player and they will have a huge say on what happens with him.

“There is part of an agreement in there that gives us an opportunity to speak to Wolves and the player but it is not close to being agreed.”

Wallace signed a three-year contract when he was signed for Wolves by Kenny Jackett in May 2015. His most recent appearance came in Paul Lambert's first game in charge, a 0-0 draw at Preston in November.
