Wolves have reportedly agreed a fee with Lazio for Brazilian defender, Wallace.

Reports in Italy claim that a fee of around £6.5m has been worked out between the clubs - although an issue still remains over the structure of the move.

Wolves are said to want an option to buy the player following a loan move, Lazio would prefer an obligation.

Wolves are also reportedly keen on a move for Benfica midfielder Gedson Fernandes.

The 20-year-old is one of the club's brightest talents, and the Portuguese side reportedly have a release clause of €120m.

Nuno's side already hold an interest in Fernandes' teammate Ruben Dias.

West Brom

West Brom are reportedly among the clubs interested in Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik.

Derby, Brentford and Middlesbrough are all thought to be keen on the Polish youngster, who previously had a loan spell at Walsall.

He spent last season on-loan at Charlton, earning promotion to the Championship via the play-offs.

West Brom haven't received a bid from Aston Villa for Matt Phillips.

The winger was linked with a move to Villa Park this week, in what would be a blow for the Baggies ahead of their Championship opener this weekend.

Reports claim that Villa haven't made any contact regarding the Scotland international.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa have reportedly made an £11m offer for Galatasaray defender Christian Luyindama.

Villa have already strengthened heavily in defence, with Tyrone Mings, Ezri Konsa, Bjorn Engels and Kortney Hause all joining on permanent deals this summer.

Reports in Turkey claim they could be set to add another name to that list.

Aston Villa continue to be linked with a move for Liverpool winger Harry Wilson.

Newcastle are also thought to hold an interest, but would prefer a loan move.

Walsall

Arsenal want a reported £10m for ex-Walsall loanee Krystian Bielik.

Saddlers fans will remember the Polish defender's spell at the club, mainly due to the fact he never made an appearance due to injury.
