Wolves
Wolves are among a handful of clubs reportedly interested in Joel Asoro, although Swansea have had a bid accepted for the winger.
The Sunderland youngster is supposedly wanted by Newcastle and Spurs too, although all them will need to act fast to snatch the 19-year-old from the Swans.
It's thought that Asoro is destined to leave the Stadium of Light this summer following their relegation to League One.
Meanwhile, Newcastle are reportedly in the hunt for Wolves target Olegsandr Zinchenko.
The Man City youngster is wanted by Nuno, who is keen to bolster his side ahead of Wolves' Premier League campaign which kicks off next month.
Wolves have recently signed Raul Jimenez and Rui Patricio, but still need some extra reinforcements ahead of the season.
West Brom
Albion are reportedly upping their efforts to sign Swansea defender Kyle Bartley.
The Baggies have been linked with 27-year-old throughout the summer, amid interest from Leeds, who's chances of sealing a deal appear to have faded.
Albion need defensive signings after seeing the likes of Jonny Evans and Gareth McAuley leave.
Lyon are the latest side linked with a move for West Brom forward Nacer Chadli.
The Belgian has featured regularly for his nation during the World Cup, and could do so again this evening as they play France.
Chadli can leave The Hawthorns for £17m due to a release clause in his contract following the club's relegation.
Aston Villa
Steve Bruce was reportedly keen on signing West Ham youngster Reece Burke this summer, but has missed out due to the financial issues at B6.
The 21-year-old is now reportedly set for a move to Hull City, after talks with Derby collapsed.
Sheffield Wednesday were also reported to have held an interest in the versatile defender, who can also play in midfield.
Aston Villa reportedly had a list of exciting Premier League transfer targets, including Marouane Fellaini, had the club achieved promotion.
The Manchester United midfielder, currently at the World Cup in Belgium, recently signed a new deal at Old Trafford - but could have been on Villa's shopping list this summer if they'd have gone up.
Other reported targets included West Ham striker Javier Hernandez and Danish midfielder Thomas Delaney - whilst a number of loanees would also have been brought in permanently.
Walsall
Stefan Gamble has admitted that Dean Keates has funds to continue to improve the Walsall squad.
The chief executive revealed the news in a fan focus meeting, claiming that the board are backing the new boss with a competitive budget.
“We need centre-halves. Perhaps another midfielder, perhaps another striker." he said.
