Transfer Rumours - June 3
Expressandstar.com bring you all of the latest transfer talk from Wolves, West Brom, Aston Villa and Walsall.
We are not saying they are true – just that they are out there.
WOLVES
Wolves will bid for Poland winger Michal Zyro as soon as out-of-contract winger Bakary Sako, as expected, joins a club in the Premier League.
The 22-year-old, who plays for Legia Warsaw in his homeland, has been watched by Wolves boss Kenny Jackett ahead of a proposed move.
While he must act quickly, with Scottish giants Celtic and Italian outfit Genoa also keen, Jackett wants to be certain Sako is leaving.
The Mali international's wage demands have put off a host of clubs, but he's likely to lower his demands and force a move through to Everton.
Zyro could be captured for around the £1million mark, as he's entering the last year of his contract, and is keen to make a move overseas.
WEST BROM
West Brom and new top-flight rivals Watford are both after Cameroon left-back Henri Bedimo, who has been in and out of the team at French side Lyon.
The 30-year-old wants a permanent first-team berth after 27 appearances last season, which the Baggies can offer as they are bereft of options.
They have used Chris Brunt and Joleon Lescott out of position in the role, with Sebastien Pocognoli left in the cold since boss Tony Pulis arrived.
Bedimo would bring experience and is available for a reasonable fee, which appeals to Albion and the Hornets as they look to make the jump up.
ASTON VILLA
Aston Villa could turn to the experience of Manchester United defender Jonny Evans, as manager Tim Sherwood looks to rebuild his squad.
Sherwood is likely to show a number of players the door this summer and wants Evans, who has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
He feels the Northern Ireland international, still just 27, can spearhead Villa's defence and will try to haggle down his £10million asking price.
Tottenham Hotspur and Everton have both been linked, too, but the Villa chief is confident he can still sell the size of the club to the player.
WALSALL
Walsall may offer Bristol City bad-boy Jay Emmanuel-Thomas the chance to rebuild his career at the Banks's Stadium with the offer of a contract.
The 24-year-old scored 12 goals for the League One champions last season but has not been offered a new deal, with questions over his attitude.
Championship side Birmingham City are thought to be interested but haven't acted, which could open the door for Saddlers boss Dean Smith.
