Transfer Rumours - January 5th

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 loan flop Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is set for another loan spell in the Championship, with reports suggesting he is wanted by Reading.

The youngster has followed his less than brilliant spell at Molineux with an equally questionable period at Leeds, and Manchester United could recall him and find him a new loan deal elsewhere.

It's thought that Reading could be a landing spot for the 20-year-old, who made just seven appearances for Wolves whilst he was at Molineux.

Meanwhile, reports in Poland claim that Wolves may be interested in PAOK striker Aleksandar Prijovic.

The Serbian striker is also of interest to Leeds United according to the reports, with a €6m fee supposedly enough to tempt the Greek club to sell.

The 27-year-old is set to head to the World Cup next summer - and has scored ten goals in 20 appearances for his club this season.

West Brom

Albion have been linked with a move for Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths, according to reports.

The former Wolves forward was heavily linked with a move from the SPL Champions in the summer, but ended up staying put.

West Brom are in need of support up-front, as their win-less run continues - although they may need to do battle with Crystal Palace if they want to secure Griffiths' signature this month.

Reports have also credited West Brom with an interest in Lille defensive midfielder Ibrahim Amadou.

The 24-year-old is valued at over £16m by the French club, and has been used as a centre-back this season, making any move by West Brom more likely given their plethora of holding midfielders on their books.

Similarly to the links with Griffiths, Palace are also supposedly keen on his services.

Aston Villa

After being linked with Middlesbrough's Adam Clayton, Villa are now reportedly eyeing another Boro man in the shape of Adam Forshaw this January.

The 26-year-old is rumoured to be of interest to Derby and Sunderland too, and is yet to feature under Tony Pulis.

Both Forshaw and Clayton are likely to feature in the FA Cup this weekend, giving the new Boro boss a chance to see how they get on over 90 minutes.

Meanwhile, Newcastle winger Rolando Aarons is also being eyed up by Villa, according to reports.

Steve Bruce is joined in his interest by Huddersfield and Crystal Palace for the 22-year-old, who has made just four top flight appearances this season.

The England youth international has scored two goals from nine games so far this season, once in the Checkatrade Trophy and the second coming in the EFL Cup.

Walsall

There are no fresh Walsall transfer rumours today.
