Wolves

Reports suggest Wolves will do battle with Tottenham Hotspur for Barcelona midfielder Andre Gomes.

The Portuguese international has reportedly failed to settle at the Nou Camp following his move from Valencia, and is a client of Jorge Mendes.

It's claimed both Wolves and Spurs are keen on the 24-year-old, who may look to end his stay in Spain this summer.

One man who could be on his way out of Molineux is Ivan Cavaleiro, as reports claim Huddersfield Town are interested in the winger.

The 24-year-old was inconsistent under Paul Lambert, but found his groove following Nuno's appointment, becoming one of the biggest attacking threats throughout the club's title-winning season.

But reports claim he could be sold at the right price, with The Terriers apparently keen to add to their attacking ranks.

West Brom

Albion have been linked with a £5m move for Burnley striker, Nahki Wells, according to reports.

The striker has struggled to make a name for himself in the Premier League and could be set to leave Turf Moor this summer as he hunts for first-team opportunities.

Darren Moore is reportedly eyeing him up thanks to his experience in the Championship, and it's thought a move could be used as a make weight in a deal which sees Craig Dawson or Jay Rodriguez head in the opposite direction.

Meanwhile, Albion have also been linked with a move for Jeremain Lens.

The right-winger is reportedly of interest to Albion, with Giuliano Terraneo apparently in talks with Besiktas to try and broker a deal to get him to the Black Country.

The report even suggests West Brom could table an offer in the coming days for the former Sunderland man.

Aston Villa

Reports claim that Aston Villa are leading the race for central defender Samuel Yohou.

The 26-year-old is free to join another club upon the expiry of his current contract at French side Paris FC, who play in Ligue 2.

He made 22 appearances in the league for Paris last season, scoring once.

Meanwhile, Steve Bruce is also reportedly interested in a move for Wigan defender Dan Burn.

The former Blues loanee made more than 50 appearances for the Latics last season as they secured promotion from League One, scoring six times.

Reports suggest the 6ft 7in centre back could come in to help Villa recover from the losses of John Terry and Chris Samba.

Walsall

It seems any move to bring Jack Fitzwater back to Walsall on-loan this season could be dead.

The defender signed a new deal at West Brom this month, and it's now hoped that he can play a first-team role for the Baggies in the Championship.

The 20-year-old is now unlikely to leave The Hawthorns as Darren Moore's side attempt to bounce back from relegation at the first attempt.
