Transfer Rumours - August 2

Expressandstar.com brings you all the latest transfer talk from Wolves, West Brom, Aston Villa and Walsall.

Wolves

Wolves are reportedly set to miss out on Ruben Dias this summer, with the defender apparently set to agree a new deal at Benfica.

The defender was one of Wolves' prime targets late in the window, but now it seems they'll need to look elsewhere.

The new deal is reportedly set to feature an £80m release clause, something which is likely to put off interested parties.

Reports claim that Sami Khedira is set to decide between a move to Arsenal or Wolves this summer.

The defensive midfielder is apparently free to leave Juventus having fallen out of favour in Turin.

Arsenal have long been linked with the German, although given his age he's unlikely to be a long-term option for any new suitor.

West Brom could be alerted to the availability of Kemar Roofe, with Anderlecht keen on a move for the Leeds striker.

Rumour has it that he could be set to leave Elland Road for as little as €7m.

Albion are still in need of a striker, having seen Dwight Gayle and Jay Rodriguez both depart.

Albion forward Oli Burke has raised eyebrows regarding his future after deleting images related to West Brom on his Instagram account.

The Scot has struggled to gain any momentum at Albion since signing, and spent a portion of last season on-loan at Celtic.

Interestingly, he has left images of his time north of the border on his account - sparking rumours of a return.

Rushian Hepburn-Murphy is set to join Tranmere Rovers on-loan, according to reports.

The young striker is unlikely to make any headway in the first-team set-up at Villa this season given their Premier League status.

That means a temporary move is likely, in hopes that he'll return with more experience.

Meanwhile, Villa are targetting another striker before Thursday's transfer deadline.

The club have already made 12 signings this summer in a spending spree totalling above £120m.

However, Villa are set to further push that spending on with the addition of another striker.

No fresh Walsall rumours.
