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 interested in Napoli midfielder Amadou Diawara.
The club were linked with the 21-year-old Guinean previously, and those links have emerged once again as Wolves prepare for European football next season.
The defensive midfielder would bolster Nuno's options in the middle of the park and is said to be out of favour at Napoli.
Reports claim that Wolves are amongst a selection of clubs to make an offer to full-back Filipe Luis, who could depart Atletico Madrid for free.
The Brazilian defender is out of contract this summer, alerting plenty of clubs who could be keen to sign the 33-year-old.
It's been reported that the player could be set to agree a new deal to stay in Spain, although should no contract materialise he will depart the club.
West Brom
Celtic remains a potential destinations for Albion midfielder Rekeem Harper, as reports north of the border suggest a deal is likely.
The youngster is yet to sign a new deal at The Hawthorns, with his contract up this summer.
Should he head to Scotland, the Baggies will miss out on a sizeable compensation fee, with teams outside of England paying a set fee of just £235k.
Aston Villa
Reports claim that Glenn Whelan would favour a return to Stoke City after Villa decided against renewing his contract following promotion.
Whelan played a key role in Villa's promotion, but was an unused substitute at Wembley as Villa secured their place in the Premier League with a 2-1 win over Derby.
The midfielder was a huge influence during his previous stint at the Bet365 Stadium, and should an offer come from the Potteries, reports suggest he'd jump at the chance of a return.
Meanwhile, reports claim that Chelsea will allow Tammy Abraham to leave Stamford Bridge this summer, but only on a permanent basis.
Abraham scored 26 goals on the way to Villa's promotion at Wembley, with the club likely to see if a deal can be struck to sign the striker once again.
The situation regarding Chelsea's transfer status and Maurizio Sarri's future are likely to cloud any immediate dealings, although reports suggest a move can be worked out.
Walsall
No fresh Walsall rumours today.
