Wolves

Wolves are being listed among the favourites to sign West Brom striker Salomon Rondon.

The West Brom striker was subject to a big money bid from China last season, and despite a mixed season so far, is suddenly being linked away from The Hawthorns once again.

Chelsea and Liverpool are also in the bookmakers minds, with the Reds suddenly 2/1 favourites to secure the Venezuelan's services this month.

Meanwhile, Wolves are also 3/1 second favourites to sign Derby County's Chris Martin.

The striker has been of interest to Wolves over previous windows, and he is once again being linked with a move to Molineux as Nuno continues to bolster his side.

Sunderland are also thought to be keen, with some bookmakers placing them at evens to bag his signature.

West Brom

West Ham have joined West Brom in both clubs' reported interest in Fulham's Tom Cairney.

The midfielder has already expressed his desire to stay at Craven Cottage this month, but that hasn't seemed to cool the Hammers' interest in his services.

It's thought that David Moyes could bid £15m for his services, should reports be true.

Birmingham City are reportedly keen to bring Sam Field to St. Andrew's on-loan this month.

Steve Cotterill is supposedly keen to bolster his side as they continue to struggle in the second tier this season.

Albion have already turned down offers from the Championship for Field on a temporary basis as Alan Pardew sees him as part of his first-team set-up and is unlikely to entertain any interest in the youngster.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa could be set to allow Ross McCormack to leave the club in a permanent deal this month, following his return from Australia.

Reports suggest that Steve Bruce could be willing to cut ties with the forward, who had a well-documented falling out with the boss last season.

The Scot flourished in Australia, but a move back to Melbourne is thought to be unlikely.

Another man who could depart Villa Park this month is Aaron Tshibola, with reports claiming that the club are willing to take a financial hit with his sale.

The midfielder joined from Reading for £5m, but has failed to work his way into Bruce's plans and is also weighing up loan moves.

Villa re reportedly willing to let him leave permanently for £1.5m.

Walsall

The future of former Saddler Troy Deeney is up in the air this month, with new Watford Boss Javi Gracia admitting he's in the dark regarding the striker.

Walsall could be set for a cash boost from Deeney's sale due to a sell-on clause in his contract.

West Brom are the latest team tipped to make a move for him, according to reports.
