We're not saying they're true, just that they're out there.

Wolves

Wolves are reportedly keen on bringing in 16-year-old Aberdeen midfielder Terry Taylor this summer.

The youngster made his debut for the Scottish side's U20s team at just 14 and is tipped for a big future - having won the U16s player of the year award last season.

Reports suggest that he'd only cost Wolves £100,000 in compensation, should they bag his signature.

Also, with Andy Lonergan looking likely to leave, Wolves have been linked with a move for Werder Bremen goalkeeper Felix Wiedwald.

Nuno Espirito Santo could get a good look at the 27-year-old during pre-season, as Werder Bremen take on his side during their pre-season camp in Austria.

It's thought that Norwich, Nottingham Forest and Leeds are all keen on the stopper.

West Brom

West Brom are set to miss out on Charlie Taylor - with Burnley reported to have agreed terms with the left-back.

Tony Pulis has recently looked elsewhere to solve his left-back issue, after failing to agree a compensation fee with Leeds, and was unwilling to go through a tribunal to determine his cost to the club.

Burnley are now the front runners for his signature, who are less wary of the so far unknown price tag over the youngster's head.

Meanwhile, Albion are set to do battle with Arsenal and West Ham for Nigerian striker Henry Onyekuru.

Albion were linked with the 20-year-old earlier in the summer, and are now thought to be in a race for his services.

Scoring 24 times last season for KAS Eupen, Arsene Wenger is currently the favourite to bring him in to the Emirates.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce is keen on a move for Huddersfield Town defender Michael Hefele.

Derby and Norwich are also thought to be sniffing around the 26-year-old following the Terriers' promotion to the Premier League.

David Wagner is hoping to keep the centre-back at the John Smith's Stadium though, and is likely to offer up a new deal to tempt him to stay.

Also, Derby County aren't likely to challenge Villa for the signing of Glenn Whelan.

Gary Rowett was interested in the Stoke midfielder, following the departure of Will Hughes.

However, he'll now look elsewhere as Villa continue to chase the 33-year-old, who's set to leave Staffordshire.

Walsall

Walsall might be wise to make a move for Doncaster Rovers forward Andy Williams this summer.

The 30-year-old is set to leave Rovers, with manager Darren Ferguson keen on him finding a new club as soon as possible.

The Englishman has scored 23 times for the club since joining, and Jon Whitney is in need of a striker following Andreas Makris' departure.
