Transfer Rumours - July 20

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

West Ham are doing battle with Wolves for Juventus midfielder Stefano Struraro, according to reports.

The 25-year-old was linked with a move to Molineux earlier this summer, and now it seems the Hammers are keen to get in on the action.

It's thought that Juventus want around £18m for the Italy international.

Wolves are among the favourites to sign Yerry Mina this summer, alongside the likes of Liverpool and Chelsea.

The Colombian international is reportedly set to leave Barcelona following his return from the World Cup, with the bookmakers listing a move to Molineux at 11/1.

Everton lead the race at 6/4, whilst Boca Juniors are also in the running at 3/1.

West Brom

Former West Brom loanee Daniel Sturridge has reportedly decided to stay at Liverpool and fight for his place this season.

The striker joined Albion on-loan last January, but failed to help steer them to survival in what was an injury hit spell at the club.

But despite being linked with a permanent move away from Anfield, Sturridge looks set to stay for another season.

Port Vale remain hopeful of bringing in Albion youngster Kyle Howkins on-loan.

The 22-year-old impressed at Vale Park in a previous loan spell last season, and it's thought another deal could work well for all involved.

Aston Villa

Jack Grealish's proposed move to Spurs is now unlikely to happen ahead of the London club's pre-season trip to the USA, according to reports.

Steve Bruce has admitted that he's being forced to sell off some of his star players due to Villa's financial struggles, with Spurs heavily linked with the 22-year-old.

It's reported that the two clubs are yet to settle on a fee, although talks of a proposed cash injection at Villa could also be delaying any deals.

Reports claim that Conor Hourihane could be another name set to leave Aston Villa this summer.

The midfielder has been an integral part of Steve Bruce's side, and has been prolific in pre-season so far, scoring a hat trick against Walsall.

However, reports suggest he could be yet another name targeted by Villa's rivals as they look to generate some cash from player sales this summer.

Walsall

Ex-Burton Albion defender Tomas Egert is rumoured to be one of the mystery trialists given a chance to impress by Dean Keates.

The 23-year-old is reportedly one of the five players utilised during the Saddlers' 2-0 win over Ajax yesterday, and could be eyed up for a deal by the boss.

Keates is still in need of signings as he looks to bolster his squad for the upcoming season.
