We're not saying they're true, just that they're out there.

Wolves

A deal for Portuguese defender Roderick Miranda is still expected to go ahead this summer.

The defender was linked with a move to Molineux immediately following Nuno Espirito Santo's appointment.

The 6ft 3in defender is a client of Jorge Mendes and worked under Nuno at current club Rio Ave.

Meanwhile, three players look set to leave Molineux in the coming weeks, with Jed Wallace, Ethan Ebanks-Landell and Andy Lonergan likely to depart.

Wallace and Ebanks-Landell spent time on-loan with Millwall and Sheffield United respectively last season, with permanent moves likely.

Lonergan however, spent last season as Carl Ikeme's back-up - but Wolves will let him leave if an offer arrives for his services.

West Brom

Albion are reportedly interested in signing Sunderland defender Lamine Kone.

Tony Pulis has been a long-term admirer of the 28-year-old centre-back, who is eager to leave the Black Cats this summer and return to the Premier League.

The Frenchman is expected to cost in the region of £9million.

Meanwhile, Albion have also been linked with a move for Hull City midfielder, Tom Huddlestone.

Pulis has been linked with several players from the relegated side, and the Englishman is the latest name to come out.

The 30-year-old reportedly has a £2m release clause in his contract, making him an affordable replacement for Darren Fletcher should Pulis be interested.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce is eyeing a move for Burton Albion midfielder, Jackson Irvine.

The Australian international is being tracked by a number of clubs this summer, with Derby, Fulham and Sheffield Wednesday also interested.

The 24-year-old notched ten goals this season for the Brewers, and reportedly turned down a big money offer from China in January.

Meanwhile, Villa could do battle with Birmingham City for the signing of Marc Roberts.

The Barnsley captain is set to depart Oakwell as his contract expires, and several other clubs vying for promotion are thought to be circling.

Villa have previous with Barnsley - having signed Conor Hourihane in January and being previously linked with Marley Watkins.

Walsall

All quiet at the Banks's.
