Transfer Rumours - June 19
Expressandstar.com brings you all the latest transfer talk from Wolves, West Brom, Aston Villa and Walsall.
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 reportedly among a host of Premier League teams waiting to see if Jack Wilshere will sign a new deal at Arsenal this month.
The Englishman has been offered a new deal at his boyhood club, but reports suggest it includes a pay cut and that there is no guarantee of first-team football on a regular basis.
Wolves, Crystal Palace, Everton and West Ham are all reportedly keen on the midfielder.
Reports on the continent claim Wolves are set to table a £22m bid for Stoke City midfielder Badou N'Diaye.
The Senegal midfielder couldn't turn the tables on Stoke's poor league form to finish the season, as they were relegated to the Championship.
That has opened the door to an exit for the tenacious 27-year-old, who Stoke could look to off-load.
West Brom
Newcastle United have reportedly been put off from a bid for West Brom Striker Salomon Rondon, thanks to the associated add-ons regarding a move.
It's thought that the striker is on Rafa Benitez's shopping list this summer, but despite being willing to meet the Venezuelan's £16.5m release clause, reports suggest the club aren't willing to splash the cash on an agent fee and signing on fee.
Rondon has been linked away from The Hawthorns since the club's relegation was confirmed, with a number of big teams reportedly interested in him.
Reports in Argentina claim that the Baggies are interested in Boca Juniors midfielder Wilmar Barrios.
Albion are even considering a bid of €16.5m for the Colombian international, who has been heavily linked with a move to Spurs this summer.
The 24-year-old is a defensive midfielder also capable of playing at full-back, and is currently on international duty with Colombia at the World Cup.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa could be set for a healthy boost of cash from the sale of Adama Traore, if he leaves Boro this summer.
PSG are the latest team linked with the former Barcelona product, whilst Chelsea have also been reportedly keen on a move for him.
According to reports, Traore has an £18m release clause in his contract in the north east, with Villa likely to earn a chunk of that if he should leave.
Leicester City are set to end their interest in Villa star Jack Grealish, with the Foxes set to sign James Maddison from Norwich.
Whilst the news could be a relief to fans, it might also work against Villa as it reduces the likelihood of a bidding war for the home-grown talent, with the club likely to sell the star for some much-needed funds.
Spurs and Chelsea have also been linked with a move for the young midfielder.
Walsall
No fresh Walsall rumours today.
