Required, wanted (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

needed

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'required' is the first definition.
(I know that required can be written as needed)

'wanted' is the second definition.
(needing is a kind of wanting)

(Other definitions for needed that I've seen before include "Required; sounds like worked (dough)" , "Obligatory" , "Was in want of" , "Lacked something essential" , "Missing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
