Could Mitrovic leave Newcastle?

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

Wolves

Chelsea could be set to allow Ike Ugbo leave on-loan this summer, with Wolves linked with the forward.

The 18-year-old has scored 60 goals for the Blues' youngsters but is likely to leave on-loan to aid his development.

Nuno Espirito Santo is likely to be looking out for a striker as Jon Dadi Bodvarsson is due to leave for Reading.

Meanwhile, Wolves are reportedly keen on Leeds midfielder Eunan O'Kane.

The 27-year-old midfielder joined the club from Bournemouth last summer, but could be set to leave this year.

The Elland Road outfit have been linked with a number of Wolves players recently, with Danny Batth the biggest name.

West Brom

West Brom are reportedly closing in on Andrea Ranocchia as Tony Pulis looks to improve his back-line.

He spent time on-loan with Hull City last season, scoring twice for the Tigers as they were eventually relegated from the Premier League.

He's no longer a part of the plans at Inter Milan, his parent club, and is likely to leave.

Also, West Brom are being linked with an audacious swap deal involving Salomon Rondon and Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The hot-headed Magpie's striker is a mixed bag, but could be allowed to leave Tyneside this summer.

Meanwhile, Rondon is himself being linked away from The Hawthorns - with West Ham also keen on the Venezuelan.

Aston Villa

On man set to leave Aston Villa this summer is defender Aly Cissokho - with Yeni Malatyasporset to seal a deal for the left-back.

The Frenchman isn't a part of Steve Bruce's plans at B6 and was sent out on-loan last season.

The 29-year-old joined Villa in 2014, and is one of the remaining players from the team relegated from the Premier League still at the club.

Aston Villa are behind Championship rivals Brentford in the chase for Exeter City forward Ollie Watkins.

The 21-year-old scored 16 times last season as his side made the League Two play-off final and was named the EFL's young player of the season in the fourth tier.

Leeds, Reading and Bristol City are also reported to have interest in him.

Walsall

The Saddlers reportedly hold an interest in Leeds United striker Lee Erwin.

The 22-year-old is set to leave Elland Road this summer, with the Banks's Stadium a possible destination for the Scotsman.

Having joined the Yorkshire club from Motherwell, he's failed to cement a place in the team, and spent loan spells with Bury and Oldham.
