Transfer Rumours - May 25th

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

Reports in Portugal claim that Wolves are going to have to do battle with West Ham and Aston Villa for Porto striker Moussa Marega.

Valued at £26m, Marega has netted 23 goals in 40 appearances this season, and has been credited with 8 assists too.

The Portuguese club reportedly need to stick to FFP rules, so could cash in on the prolific striker, who can also play on the right wing.

Meanwhile, Joe Hart will be allowed to leave Manchester City for less than £5m, according to reports.

Wolves were linked with the goalkeeper this month, with his loan spell at West Ham set to end with no permanent deal.

Nuno is thought to be hunting a stopper to compete with John Ruddy in the Premier League next season.

West Brom

New Arsenal boss Unai Emery could be set to re-ignite the interest in Jonny Evans this summer.

Reports claim that his scouting staff may have identified the Baggies defender as a target for the club, having previously been of interest in other windows.

He can leave Albion for just £3m due to a clause in his contract, but his agent's reported £4m fee on top of that has caused hiccups among other suitors.

It seems the bookies are giving West Brom little chance of holding onto Craig Dawson this summer, with the defender 1/4 to leave the club.

Dawson was one of the Baggies' best performers as they staged an unsuccessful attempt at the great escape late in the season.

Bookmakers have tipped the likes of Burnley, West Ham and Newcastle as potential destinations for the centre-back.

Aston Villa

Reports claim that John Terry will sign an extension with Aston Villa if they go up next season, as long as he has the option to avoid playing former side Chelsea.

Terry has been integral to Villa's success this season, and took the drop into the Championship in the summer in part to reduce his chances of facing his former club.

However, with Villa just one game away from promotion, reports suggest he won't want to line-up against the Blues, but is willing to remain at B6.

Villa are 10/1 with the bookies to sign Middlesbrough defender Ben Gibson this summer.

The 25-year-old defender is being tipped to leave the Championship club after they failed to secure promotion back into the Premier League.

Should Villa go up via the play-off final, he could be a viable option, whilst Southampton, Newcastle and West Ham are also being favoured by the bookmakers.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
