Transfer rumours - January 30

The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets. They do not reflect the views of the Express and Star.

Wolves

Wolves are reportedly chasing Rubin Kazan forward Serdar Azmoun ahead of tomorrow's transfer deadline.

The 24-year-old has earned the nickname of the 'Iranian Messi', having scored more than a goal every other game for his nation.

Reports suggest that the Russian club would be willing to part with their striker for as much as £9m.

Meanwhile, reported Wolves target Vincent Janssen is apparently being courted by Spanish club Real Betis.

Yesterday, reports claimed that Wolves could move for the striker, who isn't part of the plans at Wembley despite Spurs suffering from numerous injury problems.

Now it seems that if Wolves are interested, they'll face competition from the continent to get their man.

West Brom

West Brom are reportedly edging closer to the signing of Fulham forward Aboubakar Kamara, and could also bring in Stefan Johansen on-loan from Craven Cottage.

Kamara is suspended by the club for a bust-up during training, with Albion apparently willing to move for him despite that issue.

Reports also claim that midfielder Johansen is also on the Baggies' radar, sparking talk of a double deal between the clubs.

Elsewhere, Newcastle United are edging closer to a club record move for Miguel Almiron, which could free up Jacob Murphy to make the move to The Hawthorns.

It's reported that the Magpies will let Murphy go once a replacement comes in, and Almiron would fit the bill.

The Toon target can play centrally or on either wing, giving hope that his arrival could mean Murphy could depart before tomorrow's deadline.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa striker Scott Hogan is poised to leave Villa for Sheffield United on-loan.

The striker reportedly underwent a medical at Bramall Lane yesterday with a move reportedly likely to conclude today.

Bristol City are also apparently keen, but will need to look elsewhere should the former Brentford man sort his move as expected.

Newcastle United's loan move for Andreas Samaris could mean that Isaac Hayden will be allowed to join Villa before the 11pm deadline tomorrow.

Hayden is desperate to leave the north east for family reasons, with Villa keen on adding him to their ranks.

He has been told that he won't be allowed to leave unless Newcastle source a replacement, with Samaris fitting the bill.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
