Transfer Rumours - August 23rd
Expressandstar.com brings you all of the latest transfer talk from Wolves, West Brom, Walsall and Aston Villa.
The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets. They do not reflect the views of the Express and Star.
Wolves
Leeds United are now favourites to sign Jordan Rhodes this summer, who was previously linked with a move to Molineux.
The Owls striker seems destined to leave Hillsborough ahead of the transfer deadline, with Wolves' need for a striker making for an obvious link over the course of this summer.
However, it's Leeds who are leading the race for his signature now, with some bookies having them at 3/1 favourites to secure his services.
Wolves are eager to add to their options up front, with the club willing to sanction a purchase or a loan deal to bag a new goalscorer.
West Brom
West Brom are reportedly keen on sealing a deal for Tottenham Hotspur striker Vincent Janssen.
The forward has failed to hit the mark at Spurs, with Mauricio Pochettino apparently willing to let the 23-year-old leave the club.
It's thought that he could set Albion back by around £15m, if any deal is to be struck.
Meanwhile, Crystal Palace have also entered the race to sign Spurs defender Kevin Wimmer.
It's thought that Tony Pulis only has to provide the green light to get the deal sorted at Albion, although other reports claim that Wimmer has questioned the move with Pulis toying with the idea of playing him at the left-back position.
Palace previously confirmed that Mamadou Sakho, also linked with Albion, is out of their price range.
Aston Villa
Villa winger Andre Green is being eyed up by Premier League sides this summer, according to reports.
The 19-year-old has been impressive this season so far, scoring his first senior goal against Norwich City last weekend.
Bournemouth and Crystal Palace are both apparently keen, although it would take a substantial bid for Villa to consider the idea of selling him.
Meanwhile, Steve Bruce is hoping to secure a reunion with Robert Snodgrass on-loan.
The West Ham winger is being allowed to leave the club this summer, despite only joining in January.
A permanent deal is off the cards right now for Bruce, although Sunderland are also keen.
Walsall
No Walsall rumours today.
