All the latest transfer gossip on Wolves, Albion, Villa, Walsall and Blues.

We have scoured the back pages and the internet to bring you the latest gossip.

We are not saying they’re true – just that they are out there.

WOLVES

Wolves could make a bid for transfer-listed Walsall defender Anthony Gerrard – if they fail to land Sunderland defender Danny Higginbotham.

The likelihood of Daniel Jones being allowed to join Northampton on loan has diminished with the long-term injury to left-back George Elokobi.

ALBION

The Baggies are looking to bolster their ranks further by completing the capture of Charlton’s Zheng Zhi in a £2.5million deal by the end of the week.

VILLA

Villa will step up their bid for Newcastle right-winger James Milner after the player handed in a transfer request at St James Park.

A possible capture of Milner should end any interest in Chelsea right-winger Shaun Wright-Phillips, who is widely expected to join Manchester City.

WALSALL

It is thought that two Championship clubs have so far made their interest known in Saddlers defender Anthony Gerrard – Birmingham and Southampton.

BLUES

The Blues have still not given up on signing Celtic defender Bobo Balde.
