Wolves
Everton are reportedly keen on Jean-Phillipe Gbamin - a player previously linked with a move to Wolves.
The Toffees are in need of additional midfielders following the departure of Idrissa Gueye last month, with Gbamin apparently fitting the bill.
Wolves were amongst a collection of clubs linked with the defensive midfielder.
Meanwhile, Wolves have reportedly started chasing Dani Olmo, as they look to bolster ahead of the Premier League's opening weekend.
The Spanish U21 starlet currently plays for Dinamo Zagreb - and is best utilised on the wing or in attacking midfield.
Rumour has it Wolves have bid more than £20m for the 21-year-old.
West Brom
Derby are set to win the race for Arsenal defender Krystian Bielik, according to reports.
It's thought that Derby have had a fee agreed with the Gunners for the 21-year-old - who was rated at £10m by the north Londoners.
West Brom were credited with an interest in the former Walsall loanee.
It's thought that admin issues could cause problems regarding Matheus Pereira's potential move to England.
The Sporting CP man has been heavily linked with a move to The Hawthorns, although a deal has not been agreed.
However, reports claim he doesn't have a Portuguese passport, something which could be an issue with any potential move abroad.
Aston Villa
Reports claim that Villa are battling Leeds for the signing of Maritimo midfielder Josip Vukovic.
The 27-year-old is primarily a central midfielder, raising eyebrows given the fact Villa have already bolstered in the position.
It's reported that a fee of just £1.5m would be required to secure his services.
Liverpool want just £7m for reported Villa target Ryan Kent.
The winger is set to leave Anfield this summer, having spent last season on-loan at Rangers.
Jurgen Klopp is said to prefer a permanent move now, although that could price the Scottish side out of a deal.
Walsall
Walsall have reportedly accepted a bid for Morgan Ferrier from Tranmere Rovers.
The forward is now likely to depart the Banks's Stadium, having failed to maintain form last season.
The Saddlers have been tipped to sign one or two strikers ahead of their transfer deadline.
