Transfer rumours - January 2nd

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

Wolves are eyeing a potential move for Norwich City striker Nelson Oliveira, according to reports.

The Portuguese international is experienced at the Championship level, and given the Canaries' current league position - could look for a route into the Premier League with Nuno's side currently topping the table.

Wolves are known to be in the hunt for a striker, and the 26-year-old could fit the bill. He's also a client of Jorge Mendes' Gestifute agency.

Meanwhile, Kortney Hause could be one man set to leave Molineux this month, with Premier League duo Huddersfield and Watford reportedly interested in the defender.

Hause has struggled to break into the starting XI under Nuno, but did put in a memorable performance against Manchester City in the EFL Cup.

Reports suggest that a price tag of £2.5m could be enough to sway Wolves into a sale.

West Brom

Alan Pardew has been linked with a move for Ghanaian winger Edwin Gyasi, according to reports.

The 26-year-old is also a target of Middlesbrough and Sunderland and currently plays for Norwegian side Aelsunds FK.

Gyasi has scored six goals in 29 appearances, and has a price tag of around £600,000.

Celtic are joint favourites to sign West Brom winger James McClean this January.

The 28-year-old has previously stated his desire to play for the Scottish champions later on in his career, and that's seen them installed as joint 5/1 favourites for his signature.

Stoke (5/1), Burnley (5/1) and Aston Villa (10/1) are also touted as potential destinations by the bookmakers this week.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce could be set to lose on-loan goalkeeper Sam Johnstone this month, with Manchester United reportedly set to recall and sell the shot-stopper to West Brom.

The Baggies have reportedly agreed a £4m fee for the 24-year-old, who has been one of the stand-out goalkeepers in the Championship this season.

However, with Albion needing reinforcements up-front, it could be a move shelved for the foreseeable future.

Ross McCormack could be set to extend his spell in Australia, as Melbourne City's striker Bruno Fornaroli has suffered an injury setback.

The Scot headed to Oz earlier this season with Melbourne struggling with injury, and coach Warren Joyce admitted that he could see the loanee link well with Fornaroli once he's recovered from injury.

The current loan deal sees McCormack head back to B6 later on this month.

Walsall

Walsall loanee Tyler Roberts could be set for a move to Rangers this month.

The youngster has continued his impressive growth at the Banks's this season so far, scoring five goals in 17 appearances.

However, Rangers are keen to seal a loan deal for the 18-year-old according to reports, potentially scuppering Jon Whitney's chances of keeping the talented Albion starlet.
