Transfer Rumours - July 17

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

Atletico Madrid striker Angel Correa has reportedly asked to leave the club this summer, with Wolves a potential destination.

Reports on the continent seem to suggest that Nuno's side have made an offer for the striker, who's just 24 years of age.

Wolves have prioritised the need for a striker this summer, with Raul Jimenez in need of competition this season up front.

Meanwhile, reports elsewhere claim that Wolves are interested in a move for Vinicius.

The Napoli striker is reportedly valued at €22m.

The 24-year-old netted ten times last season, and is best utilised as a target man.

West Brom

Reports suggest that West Brom could have to fork out up to £20m to sign Neal Maupay from Brentford.

The French striker is being linked with a move away from the Bees this summer after a superb season, in which he netted 28 goals in all competitions.

Albion are in need of strikers having seen Jay Rodriguez sold to Burnley and Dwight Gayle head back to Newcastle following his loan.

Wigan have reportedly had a bid accepted for Jordan Hugill, a man linked with West Brom earlier this summer.

The striker only signed for West Ham in January 2018, but hasn't found time on the pitch easy to come by.

West Brom were linked with the former Boro loanee due to their need for reinforcements up front.

Aston Villa

Chelsea are willing to let Ethan Ampadu leave the club on-loan this summer, something which could be of interest to Aston Villa.

Dean Smith was reportedly keen on the promising defensive midfielder earlier this summer.

Villa do want to bolster in defensive midfield, although a deal to sign Man City starlet Douglas Luiz is thought to be on the cards this week.

Stoke boss Nathan Jones has re-iterated that Jack Butland will only leave the club for the right price.

Villa have been heavily linked with the goalkeeper, as they continue to splash the cash following promotion.

Butland is keen to play Premier League football as he hopes to work his way into the England squad for the 2020 European Championships.

Walsall

Ex-Walsall forward Alex Nicholls is on-trial at Yeovil.

The 31-year-old, who can feature as a striker or a winger, is without a club following his exit from Crewe.

He managed just four goals from 26 appearances last season.
