Transfer Rumours - January 22nd

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

Reported former Wolves target Iuri Medeiros is set for a move to Genoa.

The Sporting Lisbon youngster was previously linked with a move to Molineux in the summer, although no deal came about.

However, the Portuguese youngster will now head to Serie A on-loan.

Meanwhile, Wolves continue to be linked with Derby County striker Chris Martin, according to reports.

The 29-year-old has also been linked with a move to Sunderland and Reading this month, and is set to depart Pride Park before transfer deadline day.

Nuno Espirito Santo is keen on adding a striker this month to help Leo Bonatini and recently signed Spaniard Rafa Mir.

West Brom

West Brom are reportedly keen on making a move for out of favour Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.

The Serbian international has struggled for time on the pitch this season under Rafa Benitez, and looks likely to leave the Magpies this month.

Alan Pardew is known to be keen on adding to his strike force, although he needs to sell before he can buy players, with Jonny Evans the most likely departure as interest in him continues to swirl.

Another striker reportedly of interest to Pardew is Watford's Troy Deeney.

The managerial change at Vicarage Road could complicate the deal, but it's thought that a fee of £25m may be enough to pry the striker away.

As with Mitrovic, West Brom will need to sell before they can think of splashing the cash on the Watford man.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa's loan move for Leonardo Ulloa could be scuppered, with Crystal Palace and Brighton both reportedly keen on his services.

Steve Bruce is known to be in the market for a striker this month, with Jonathan Kodjia likely out for the remainder of the campaign.

The Argentine is set to leave Leicester with the likes of Jamie Vardy, Shinji Okazaki, Kelechi Iheanacho and Islam Slimani all ahead of him in the pecking order.

Meanwhile, Manchester United goalkeeper Dean Henderson is also reportedly being eyed by Villa.

Henderson is currently on-loan at Shrewsbury Town, and Villa still need to sort their long-term goalkeeping issues out, with current incumbent Sam Johnstone still to seal a permanent move.

The young shot stopper is unlikely to feature for United when he returns to Old Trafford, with David De Gea and Sergio Romero, along with Johnstone ahead of him in Jose Mourinho's reckoning.

Walsall

Walsall boss Jon Whitney is keen on making signings as soon as he can, with the transfer deadline rapidly approaching.

A number of loanees, including Tyler Roberts have departed Walsall leaving Whitney short on numbers.
