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

Wolves club captain Sam Ricketts could be offered an escape from what is becoming hell at Molineux by Championship rivals Wigan Athletic.

The Latics are shipping goals for fun and are nine points adrift from safety, with the 33-year-old more than fitting the bill for his experience.

WEST BROM

West Brom have identified former Wolves defender George Friend as an option to permanently fill their left-back position at the end of the season.

A move for another Championship player, Norwich City's Martin Olsson, collapsed on transfer deadline day so former captain Chris Brunt has had to fill the breach.

ASTON VILLA

Aston Villa will revisit a planned £5million move for Liverpool striker Rickie Lambert in the summer - provided they stay in the Premier League.

The claret and blues agreed a fee for the England international last month, only for the forward to opt on deciding to fight for his place at Anfield.

But the likelihood is that he will fall further down the pecking order when the Reds move for front-men as the summer transfer window opens.

WALSALL

All quiet at the Banks's Stadium.
