Wolves

According to reports, Newcastle United could make a late move for Helder Costa.

Rafa Benitez has endured a challenging summer transfer window thus far, and that combined with the Magpies poor start to their Premier League campaign has left the club desperate for more quality additions.

The Spaniard wants to improve in the wide attacking department and Costa is seen as the perfect solution at St James' Park.

But a price tag of £20m+ is likely to make any potential deal very difficult to complete.

West Brom

Wolfsburg defensive midfielder Josuha Guilavogui is on the radar of West Brom and Stoke.

But the clubs also face competition from OGC Nice to land the 26-year-old.

There were rumours linking Guilavogui to Albion in July, but the club have since bought Gareth Barry.

Aston Villa

Preston are the latest club to be linked with a move for Villa midfielder Gary Gardner.

Gardner has fallen out of favour this season with Bruce and has been linked with a move away.

Forest, Brentford and QPR are all interested in the player.
