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

Crystal Palace are likely to opt against extending the loan of Wolves striker Kevin Doyle in January, so his parent club will be looking for other takers.

There may even be the option of a part-subsidised to take him to the likes of Championship rivals Blackpool or Leeds United, who are both desperate for firepower to boost their flagging seasons.

WEST BROM

West Brom striker Saido Berahino has apparently been made Tottenham Hotspur's top target when the transfer window reopens for business in the New Year.

Spurs want a striker but have cooled their interest in Jay Rodriguez, who has yet to return from a serious knee injury at boss Mauricio Pochettino's former club Southampton.

That has seen £25million-rated Baggies forward Berahino surge to the top of their wanted list, with the 21-year-old unsettled at the Hawthorns after contract talks stalled.

ASTON VILLA

Aston Villa left-back Aly Cissokho is not a target for Tottenham, sources in North London suggest. The 27-year-old Frenchman only moved to the West Midlands in August.

Villa striker Darren Bent is likely to be back at the club over the festive period after a month's loan spell at Championship outfit, who have just seen manager Sami Hyypia leave.

The 30-year-old should be made available again in January, with every chance Premier League clubs may come calling this time for a proven goalscorer.

WALSALL

All quiet at the Banks's Stadium today.
