Wolves

Wolves are reportedly in the hunt for Aston Villa loanee Tammy Abraham.

The 21-year-old striker has been in prolific form this season, and is joint top scorer in the Championship with 16 goals, having joined Villa on-loan from Chelsea during the summer.

It's been reported that the forward has a clause in his contract allowing him to cancel his loan at Villa Park should he wish to, and that Premier League football is of interest to him.

Maurizio Sarri has denied he has any interest in bringing the striker back to Stamford Bridge to play for the Blues this season.

Meanwhile, reports claim that Wolves are willing to offload seldom used striker Leo Bonatini.

The Brazilian has been used sparingly by Nuno this season, and has scored just once in 34 appearances spanning over the past two campaigns.

He memorably bagged 12 goals in 22 appearances to kick-start Wolves' title-winning campaign, but could now be set to depart Molineux.

West Brom

Despite reports in the press, West Brom will not be moving to sign Spurs midfielder Victor Wanyama.

Tottenham are supposedly willing to listen to offers for the Kenyan, who has struggled to feature for the north London outfit this term.

But Albion won't be moving for the 27-year-old, who is also reportedly uninterested in a move to the Championship.

Winger Oli Burke is reportedly wanted by former club Nottingham Forest this January.

The 21-year-old has so far failed to work his way into Darren Moore's regular plans, having signed for Albion for £15m under Tony Pulis.

Celtic and Spurs have also been linked with a move for the forward.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa reportedly 'have an agreement' with defensive midfielder Nemanja Radoja which could see him make the move to Villa this month - should they agree a fee with Celta Vigo for his services.

The 25-year-old Serbian international is keen to leave the Spanish side this month, after rejecting a new deal with the club.

It's reported that Fiorentina and SPAL are also interested in the deep-lying midfielder.

Meanwhile, Villa are closing in on a deal for Wolves defender Kortney Hause.

The 23-year-old centre-back is poised to become Dean Smith’s second signing of the January transfer window following talks between the Midlands rivals.

Hause, who joined Wolves from Wycombe in January 2014, has been limited to just six appearances during the past 18 months, the last of those coming in September.

Walsall

New Walsall loanee Matt Jarvis says he 'can't wait to get back to playing football' at Walsall after his loan move to the club.

Jarvis joined from Norwich in a temporary deal following Josh Ginnelly's departure to Preston.

Jarvis watched Walsall's game with Charlton at The Valley, and could feature in this weekend's clash with Bolton in the FA Cup third round.
