Transfer Rumours - August 25th

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

Former Wolves striker Leigh Griffiths is joint-favourites with the bookies to complete a dramatic return to Molineux before the transfer deadline passes next week.

The 27-year-old has been prolific for The Hoops since joining in 2014, scoring over sixty goals, and has been previously linked with a move to England.

The striker is expected to stay at his current club this summer, but Wolves sit at 12/1 joint-leaders for his signature, alongside Burnley, Hibs, Leeds and Newcastle should he be moved on.

He previously spent three years in the Black Country, scoring 13 goals.

West Brom

Swansea are reportedly out of the running for West Brom's Nacer Chadli, after baulking at the £25+ price tag set by Tony Pulis.

The Welsh side had eyed the Belgian as a replacement for Gylfi Sigurdsson, who left for Everton this month.

However, after seeing the price Albion have set for the creative midfielder, Swansea may look elsewhere for a replacement.

Chadli has not featured under Tony Pulis in the Premier League this season, but did play during Albion's Carabao Cup win over Accrington Stanley.

Aston Villa

West Ham winger Robert Snodgrass is reportedly set for a medical at Villa.

The 29-year-old is set to leave West Ham after joining in January from Hull, and Villa have seemingly won the race for his signature.

Sunderland and Birmingham were also reportedly interested.
