Transfer Rumours - March 17

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

WOLVES

Wolves will apparently be rebuffed in their efforts to bring in Fulham striker Matthew Smith on loan, before the deadline next Thursday.

Smith has found limited first-team opportunities limited this season, with Ross McCormack and Moussa Dembele preferred options up front.

The 26-year-old forward has featured 17 times for the Cottagers since the start of the campaign, but is likely to be kept on for the club's relegation battle.

WEST BROM

West Brom and Premier League rivals Sunderland have both been linked with a £2million bid for Bristol City defender Aden Flint in the summer.

Flint, 26, is a towering 6ft 7in centre-back who has grown into becoming a regular Championship performer, after coming up with the Robins from League One.

The Baggies might well find themselves alone in the race for his services, too, should the Black Cats be relegated or turn to alternative targets.

ASTON VILLA

Aston Villa will have to take on Watford if they want to bring Liverpool winger Jerome Sinclair to the club for what will likely be a Championship challenge.

The Reds want £3million for the 19-year-old, who is on the fringes of the first-team squad having made just two first-team appearances, to leave Anfield.

Villa want him on board if they, as expected, are relegated from the top-flight, but league rivals Watford have a long-standing interest and could well stay up.

WALSALL

All quiet at the Banks's Stadium today.
