Transfer Rumours - July 25

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

Huddersfield Town are reportedly set to do battle with Wolves for the signing of Adama Traore.

Wolves have been linked with a move for the Spanish winger this summer, who can leave Boro via an £18m release clause - of which Aston Villa would receive a percentage.

The winger has been in great form over the last season, and could consider a step up back into the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Goncalo Guedes, who was previously linked with Wolves - is reportedly set for the top flight.

PSG are keen to sell the youngster to meet FFP rules, and have reportedly agreed a deal with an unnamed Premier League side to sell the forward.

It's thought that the Portuguese international is valued at almost £40m.

West Brom

Reports claim that West Brom have been rebuffed in an advance for Luton defender Jack Stacey.

The 22-year-old is apparently wanted by Darren Moore as he continues to prepare for the upcoming Championship season.

However, Luton are reportedly unwilling to let him leave, knocking back interest from the Baggies.

Elsewhere, reports in Turkey suggest Besiktas are set to continue their chase of Nacer Chadli this summer.

The Turkish side were linked with the Belgian previously, and are now apparently interested in firming up their interest with a loan bid.

Albion are reportedly eyeing a permanent sale instead of a temporary move.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa will go head to head with West Brom for the signing of Josh Windass.

The Rangers midfielder scored 13 times for the Scottish giants last season in the league, raising thoughts of a potential move this summer.

Burnley and West Ham are also thought to hold an interest in the 24-year-old.

Stoke continue to chase Villa defender James Chester, reportedly lodging a £10m bid for his services.

Previous bids for the Welshman have been turned down by Villa, who are now in a much stronger financial position following new investment in the club.

Any deal is unlikely to happen before Steve Bruce has met with the new owners to discuss transfer dealings and his future at B6.

Walsall

Dean Keates is aiming to secure three or possibly four new signings this summer.

The boss has highlighted central defence and midfield as the positions in need of new faces.

The Saddlers' season kicks off a week on Saturday, giving Keates less than two weeks to sort out his remaining deals.
