Wolves

Wolves have entered the race to sign Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar.

West Ham and Newcastle have also expressed an interest, but Wolves could pull off a shock deal with Nuno Espirito Santo believed to be a key factor.

The 25-year-old was a huge success during his loan spell with Besiktas last season, scoring 19 goals in 38 games.

Aboubakar has 60 caps for Cameroon and scored 18 times.

West Brom

West Brom and Crystal Palace are fighting it out to sign Senegalese striker Khouma Babacar.

The Fiorentina forward enjoyed a fruitful season in Italy, scoring 14 goals in 31 games.

A potential deal would hinge on the Italian giants securing Genoa striker Giovanni Simeone.

Spurs are the latest team to express an interest in West Brom target Ben Gibson.

The Boro defender is one of the most sought after properties this summer following the Teessider's relegation to the Championship.

With Albion keen to replace Jonas Olsson and no deal yet for Bournemouth's Marc Wilson, the Baggies will be hoping to sign a replacement as soon as possible.

Aston Villa

Birmingham City are believed to be rivalling Aston Villa for Southampton striker Sam Gallagher.

Gallagher has also attracted the interest of Middlesbrough, but a £7m price tag could be the stumbling block.

The 21-year-old scored 12 goals in 47 appearances while on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season.
