Transfer Rumours – July 20

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

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

WOLVES

Bournemouth have joined the race for former Wolves winger Bakary Sako. Aston Villa, Leicester City, Newcastle United and West Bromwich Albion have all previously been linked with the Mali international.

WEST BROM

Albion will offer Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert a move to The Hawthorns this week with Tony Pulis set to step up his hunt for new players.

Baggies officials will hold talks with Lambert's representatives in the next few days with Pulis keen to lure the former Southampton forward to the club.

Tottenham Hotspur are preparing a bid for West Bromwich Albion star Saido Berahino.

Spurs manager Mauricio Pochettino will launch a £15m bid for the striker as he looks to bolster his frontline.

ASTON VILLA

Tim Sherwood is preparing for the loss of Christian Benteke at Aston Villa by looking at loan moves for Patrick Bamford and James Wilson.

Villa have been linked with temporary deals for both the Chelsea and Manchester United strikers, which could make perfect sense considering Villa's need for a new forward.
