Wolves

Wolves striker Duckens Nazon is set to return to Molineux this month, although the club will look to loan him out once again.

The striker has scored eight goals in 24 appearances whilst on-loan at Coventry City this season, becoming something of a cult favourite at the Ricoh Arena.

However, he'll be heading back to the Black Country this month, with the club keen on sending him back out on-loan at a higher level for the remainder of the season.

Meanwhile, Wolves are also among a collection of clubs reportedly interested in Bristol City midfielder Marlon Pack.

Pack's been a key figure for the Robins this season, playing a part in the shock victory over Manchester United in the EFL Cup.

Derby County and Reading are also being credited with an interest in the midfielder.

West Brom

Manchester United are reportedly set to do battle with Manchester City and Arsenal for Jonny Evans this January.

Evans joined the Baggies from United back in 2015, and Jose Mourinho is rumoured to be keen on bringing him to Old Trafford with a bid of around £20m being considered.

Arsenal and Manchester City were two teams heavily linked with the centre-back last season, and Leicester City also had bids turned down for his services in the summer.

It seems that West Brom might have missed out on rumoured transfer target Cedric Bakambu, with the Congo striker set for a move to China.

Albion were reportedly interested in the Villareal forward, who scored 48 goals for the club since joining in 2015.

Chinese Super League side Beijing Guoan are set to pay £36m for his services, if reports are to be believed.

Aston Villa

Forgotten man Aaron Tshibola could be set for a loan spell this month, with Scotland a potential destination.

The youngster joined Villa under Roberto Di Matteo but has failed to make his way into Steve Bruce's plans, and also had his loan spell at MK Dons cut short earlier this season.

A number of Scottish sides were interested in the midfielder last January according to reports, and it's thought that if that interest comes back this month that he could be shipped out temporarily.

Walsall

Jon Whitney is keen to bring in a transfer target ahead of the game against Oxford United.

Whitney succeeded in bolstering his midfield with the signing of George Dobson this week, but another transfer is possible before Walsall's next fixture.
