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
Reports in France claim that Mario Lemina is close to sorting a move to Wolves before the transfer deadline passes.
Lemina is apparently set to depart Southampton, with Wolves holding an interest in the 25-year-old midfielder.
The Gabon international managed 23 appearances last season, scoring once.
West Brom
Albion are keen on signing Ajobola Alese on loan from West Ham, according to reports.
Slaven Bilic is keen on adding to his side before Thursday's deadline, and apparently wants to do some business with his former club.
The 18-year-old is a central defender, and would bolster the Baggies ranks at the back.
The Hammers have however emerged as a potential suitor for Albion target Albian Ajeti.
The Baggies have held an interest in the striker from Basel for a while now, but have yet to sort out a deal which would see him head to The Hawthorns.
The 22-year-old has impressed with his form in recent years, although given West Ham's high spending this summer already, a move there seems less likely.
Aston Villa
Aston Villa reportedly hold an interest in RB Leipzig striker Jean-Kevin Augustin.
The 22-year-old striker is reportedly up for sale by the German club, who want around £15m for his services - the same price they paid for him when he joined from PSG.
Crystal Palace are also thought to be keen.
Meanwhile, Villa have once again been linked with a move for Brentford winger Said Benrahma.
The Algerian has been tipped to move to B6 for weeks now, although no move has yet to emerge despite reports suggesting a deal was likely.
Brentford want around £20m for the winger, having already sold star striker Neal Maupay to Brighton.
Walsall
Walsall could be in for a cash windfall this summer, with Celtic reportedly eyeing up a move for Rico Henry should they sell Kieran Tierney.
Henry moved from Walsall to Brentford in 2016, but do have a sell-on clause in place on the young wing-back.
Rumour has is Celtic could pay up to £7m for the defender, earning the Saddlers a pretty penny in the process.
