Transfer Rumours - July 4
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 keen on a move for Lazio centre-back Bastos, in a move which could cost €15m.
The defender joined Lazio from Russian side Rostov in 2016, and could be set to leave the Italian side ahead of next season.
The 27-year-old is able to play in a back three, which would suit Nuno Espirito Santo's style of play.
Meanwhile, reports claim that Wolves could eye up a move for former Aston Villa winger Adama Traore.
The now-Middlesbrough man has caught the eye with some dazzling performances over the 2017/18 season, sparking thoughts of a top flight move for the Spaniard.
Huddersfield, Southampton, Chelsea and Spurs are some of the other sides linked with the pacey forward.
West Brom
Newcastle United could still come in with a serious bid for West Brom striker Salomon Rondon.
Rafa Benitez is thought to fancy a move for the Venezuelan, who could leave The Hawthorns in search of Premier League football.
He can eave Albion via his £16.5m release clause in his current contract.
Kyle Howkins could be set to join Port Vale on-loan once again, if reports are to be confirmed.
The young defender spent time at Vale Park last season, and boss Neil Aspin is apparently keen to bring him back.
The 22-year-old is unlikely to feature heavily for Albion's first team this season, despite their relegation to the Championship.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa are amongst a trio of clubs all after striker David McGoldrick.
Bristol City and West Brom are also reportedly eyeing a move for the free agent.
The 30-year-old left Ipswich this summer at the end of his contract, and Villa are unlikely to splash the cash with any big money signings, meaning cheaper deals are far more likely.
Meanwhile, former Villa loanee Lewis Grabban is reportedly set for a permanent move to Nottingham Forest.
The striker helped guide Steve Bruce's side to the play-off final last season, but it looks like he won't be heading back to B6.
It's being reported that Forest will be paying a £5m fee for his services.
Walsall
No fresh Walsall rumours today.
