Wolves

Wolves are rumoured to be interested in signing Monaco forward Pelé.

The Guinea-Bissau intentional, Judilson Mamadu Tuncará Pelé, has only made eight appearances for the Monte-Carlo club since joining from Portuguese side Rio Ave in the summer.

However, Pelé's agent Jorge Mendes is keen for his man to find more game time at this stage of his career, and the 27-year-old would almost certainly be a back-up at Wolves.

Middlesbrough are reportedly interested in bringing Adama Traoré back to the Riverside as Tony Pulis looks to strengthen his attacking options.

Traoré made 61 appearance for Boro before moving to Wolves in the summer.

The former Barcelona winger has made just six starts for Nuno's men this season.

West Brom

West Brom and Aston Villa are reportedly ready to battle it out for Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings.

The 25-year-old joined the Cherries back in 2015 for £8 million and the club are believed to be looking to complete a deal in the region of £13 million.

Mings has made just seven appearances for Eddie Howe's side this season and reports claim that he has been told he will be leaving the club during this window.

Darren Moore has already completed the signing of Mason Holgate this window in a similar deal.

Moore is also rumoured to be poised to offer former Baggies man Giles Barnes a short-term deal at the Hawthorns.

The playmaker has most recently been playing for Colorado Rapids and trained with Albion during their recent trip to Dubai.

The 30-year-old is no stranger to the Hawthorns and made 23 appearance for West Brom between 2010 and 2011.

Aston Villa

Dean Smith is reportedly interested in bringing Harry Arter to Villa Park.

The 29-year-old is currently on loan at Premier League strugglers Cardiff but it is believed that Howe has an option to recall Arter should the club secure him a permanent move elsewhere.

Aston Villa and West Brom are reportedly ready to battle it out for Bournemouth defender Tyrone Mings.

The 25-year-old joined the Cherries back in 2015 for £8 million.

Mings has made just seven appearances for Eddie Howe's side this season and reports claim that he has been told he will be leaving the south coast this during this window.

Villa have already signed Wolves defender Kortney Hause on loan until the end of the season.
