Wolves

Wolves (10/1) are third favourites to sign Arsenal's Jack Wilshire after the England international announced he would be leaving the Gunner's after rejecting a new deal.

West Ham (3/1) and Crystal Palace (6/1) are the favourites to sign the 26-year-old with Everton also rumoured to be interested.

Wolves are hoping to sign Fenerbahce’s Josef de Souza this summer, although they face competition from West Bromwich Albion and Watford for his signature.

The report also claims that Watford have already tabled a £7.9 million bid, but their opening offer is unlikely to be successful as the Turkish giants are holding out for £10.5 million.

West Brom

West Brom are chasing Besiktas winger Jeremain Lens.

Lens joined Besiktas on loan in 2017 from Sunderland and his move to the Turkish club was made permanent only last week.

However, reports from Turkey suggests that he could be on his way out in a transfer similar to Benik Afobe’s move to Stoke City just eleven days after signing for Wolves.

Nahki Wells is reluctant to surrender his Premier League dream amid reports linking the Burnley striker with a move to West Bromwich Albion.

Wells swapped Huddersfield Town for Burnley in a £5 million deal during last summer's transfer window, but only played 46 minutes of top flight football last term.

A proven Championship goalscorer, it is no surprise to see the Baggies interested in the Bermudan.

Aston Villa

Parma have reportedly indicated that they are interested in signing Aston Villa midfielder Birkir Bjarnason.

The Iceland international - who is currently representing his nation at the World Cup - is considered to be a squad player by manager Steve Bruce, with just 11 starts and 14 substitute appearances coming in the Championship last season.

Walsall

All quiet at the Banks's Stadium
