Wolves

Wolves have been heavily tipped to move for Swansea City defender Alfie Mawson.

The 24-year-old, who was called up by England in the spring but remains uncapped, is expected to bid farewell to the Liberty Stadium after the Welsh side were relegated to the Championship.

Mawson would command a fee of around £20m.

Wolves and Southampton are both reportedly keen on striker Andrea Petagna.

It is claimed a fee of just £9 million could tempt Atalanta to sell the 22-year-old.

Petagna has one international cap for Italy and has featured for his country at all youth levels.

Last season the forward scored six goals and provided seven assists.

West Brom

Wolves and West Brom are both reportedly looking to sign Brentford winger Florian Jozefzoon.

Championship promotion hopefuls Albion and newly promoted Premier League side Wolves both have their eye on the talented 27-year-old.

They also claim that Turkish side Besiktas are in the running for the former Ajax and PSV man.

Ben Foster is a surprise transfer target for Manchester City this summer.

City are in the hunt for a new goalkeeper this summer with Angus Gunn ready to be sent out on loan and Claudio Bravo’s future uncertain.

And Pep Guardiola could launch a shock swoop for Foster, who is looking to leave the Baggies.

Aston Villa

Defender Dan Burn has refused to rule out a move from Wigan this summer, with Villa understood to be monitoring the centre-back.

But while boss Steve Bruce has identified players he believes can inspire his side to another promotion push, it is still unclear what funds will be available to the 57-year-old.

Walsall

Dean Keates is confident transfer business will soon start to pick up – with the Walsall boss hopeful of making a loan signing in the coming days.

A centre-back is top of the manager’s priority list. But he also revealed he is closing in on a loan signing.
