Wolves

Wolves continue to be linked with a move for Andre Silva - as has become a standard occurrence over recent years.

Nuno's side are often linked with the striker, who seems set to depart AC Milan this summer.

The latest reports from the continent claim that Wolves are in 'pole position' to sign the 23-year-old, who could be available for approximately £26m.

Meanwhile, Wolves are also being credited with an interest in Danish U21 starlet Robert Skov.

Spurs, Watford and West Ham are also reported to have kept tabs on the 22-year-old winger who scored an astonishing 32 goals in 48 matches last season.

Skov is best suited to playing as a right-sided forward, but can also feature on the left or in a slightly deeper role.

West Brom

Albion are reportedly interested in Barnsley centre-back Liam Lindsay.

The Scot is said to be a hot commodity this summer, with Derby, Stoke, Brentford and Italian side Brescia all keen.

The 23-year-old is reportedly subject of a £1m bid from the latter, although the situation regarding Tykes boss Daniel Stendel, who is linked with Boro, could muddy the waters regarding a deal.

Turkish side Fenerbahce are the latest reported suitors for striker Salomon Rondon.

The Venezuelan is set to depart The Hawthorns on a permanent deal this summer, with a host of clubs keen on his signature.

Wolves and Newcastle are two of the interested parties in the top flight, with the Turkish giants joining an ever-increasing list to sign the powerful striker, who's available for £16.5m.

Aston Villa

Reports in France claim that Aston Villa have triggered an option to sign winger Anwar El-Ghazi on a permanent basis.

The Dutchman was key during Villa's promotion from the Championship, having regularly started under Dean Smith - scoring in the play-off final at Wembley.

Reports suggest that Lille are keen to raise funds this summer, and are happy for Villa to seal the winger's move to B6 permanently.

Villa are reportedly interested in Genk striker Mbwana Samatta.

The Tanzanian forward scored a stunning 32 goals in 51 appearances last season for Belgian side Genk - the same club from which Villa previously signed Christian Benteke in 2012.

Leicester City, Watford and Burnley are all thought to be keen on the striker too - who can also feature on the wing, but prefers a central role.

Walsall

Walsall are yet to receive a bid for striker Andy Cook, as Salford City emerged as another club keeping tabs on the 28-year-old.

Cook moved to the Banks’s Stadium on a free transfer last summer and finished the campaign as Walsall’s top scorer after netting 18 goals in all competitions.

It is understood Walsall would not welcome any offers with the club hoping the forward can play a key role in a promotion push from League Two.
