Wolves

Swansea City are reportedly eyeing a late move for Wolves striker Benik Afobe, who looks set to depart for Stoke.

The Swans fear the departure of Jordan Ayew following their relegation from the Premier League, and with Tammy Abraham heading back to Chelsea after his loan, could invest in a striker this summer.

Afobe was linked with a shock exit from Molineux this week after only joining permanently last week following his loan from Bournemouth.

Reports claim that Wolves could make an offer for Real Sociedad striker Willian Jose.

The Brazilian striker has previously been linked with a move to England, with Everton reportedly keen.

However, with Wolves in need of attacking reinforcements this summer, they could be interested in a move for the 20-goal striker.

West Brom

Chelsea and Spurs are two of the latest teams to be reportedly interested in a move for Salomon Rondon.

The Venezuelan striker could leave Albion this summer, with a £16.5m clause in place following the club's relegation to the Championship.

West Ham have also been credited with an interest in the striker.

Meanwhile, reports in Scotland suggest that Gareth McAuley could link up with Steven Gerrard at Rangers.

The defender is keen to continue playing, and could depart The Hawthorns after only featuring occasionally over the course of last season.

His contract is up this summer, so he's free to leave unless he takes up a new deal.

Aston Villa

Reports claim that Villa may struggle to offer Alan Hutton a new deal at the club, due to the ongoing financial crisis at the club.

The Scot's contract is up this summer, and despite Steve Bruce keen on keeping him at the club, issues at Villa Park may mean no new deal could be done.

It's reported that Hutton wants to stay at Villa Park - being settled in the Midlands.

Meanwhile, Albert Adomah is reportedly happy to stay at B6 next season, despite the club's failure to secure promotion.

The winger was one of the club's best performers, scoring 15 times last season, and was linked with a move to help ease the financial struggles facing the club.

It's thought that the club will now struggle to keep hold of its best players, with Jack Grealish and James Chester some of the names mentioned regarding an exit.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
