Transfer Rumours - May 21st

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 being tipped to sign Porto goalkeeper, Jose Sa - according to reports.

The 25-year-old shot-stopper has had to contend with former Real Madrid star Iker Casillas between the sticks this season, with the Spaniard also agreeing a new deal at the club for next season.

That means Sa could look elsewhere for first-team football, with Nuno Espirito Santo linked with a move for the goalkeeper.

Another goalkeeper being linked with a move to Wolves is Manchester City's Joe Hart.

Reports over the weekend have suggested that the recently-axed England goalkeeper could be a target for Wolves and Southampton.

City are seemingly willing to let the 31-year-old depart the Etihad having replaced him with Ederson.

West Brom

West Ham and Leicester are reportedly set to do battle for Albion defender Ahmed Hegazi.

The 27-year-old only joined West Brom permanently in January after initially signing on-loan, but could be on his way out of the club after impressing this season.

Reports suggest Leicester and West Ham are both keen on the Egyptian.

A reported agent's fee of £4m is currently holding back a deal for West Brom centre-back Jonny Evans to leave the club.

Leicester are reportedly doing their utmost to bring in the defender early to avoid other parties getting interested, but a fee of £4m, on top of the £3m transfer fee is proving a sticking point.

Reports claim that the fee has even had the likes of Arsenal and Manchester City looking elsewhere for options other than Evans at the back.

Aston Villa

Cardiff City are keen on trying to tempt Villa loanee Sam Johnstone to the club, should they fail to get promotion in the play-off final.

Johnstone has been phenomenal for Steve Bruce's side all season, and is likely to leave Old Trafford permanently this summer with first-team opportunities unlikely.

Villa will be favourites for his signature should they go up, but if they fail to do so Johnstone could leave for Premier League football.

Meanwhile, Steve Bruce is reportedly keen on Liverpool youngster Harry Wilson.

The winger is likely to be made available on-loan this summer, as Jurgen Klopp looks to let the starlet gain more first-team experience - having spent a portion of this season with Hull.

Leeds, Rangers and Huddersfield are all thought to be interested in a temporary move.

Walsall

Dean Keates could be set to loan out promising youngster Mitch Candlin.

The striker has rarely featured for the Saddlers this season, but is highly rated at the club, meaning a loan move could make sense.

Keates has admitted that a loan is a possibility, although he's keen on looking at the 17-year-old during pre-season.
