Wolves

Burnley have slapped a £10m price tag on forward Ashley Barnes, with Molinuex being hinted as a possible destination.

Following Chris Wood's arrival at Turf Moor, Burnley will allow Barnes to leave for the right price - with the striker unlikely to find time on the pitch with the Clarets.

Numerous sides could be interested in a move for Barnes, and Wolves are searching for a striker ahead of the transfer deadline.

West Brom

Reports suggest that Grzegorz Krychowiak is set for a medical at West Brom today, ahead of a potential loan move.

It emerged last night that the PSG midfielder could head to The Hawthorns on a temporary basis, in a deal which would prove a coup for Tony Pulis' side.

He previously joined the French giants last summer in a deal worth upward of £27m from Sevilla, but is being allowed to leave following a summer of change in Paris.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce is reportedly interested in bringing Stoke City striker Peter Crouch to Villa Park.

It's reported that Crouch is of interest to Villa, although the club would need to move other players on before putting together a move for the striker.

Crouch formerly donned claret and blue between 2002 and 2004, making over 30 appearances for the club.

Walsall

No Walsall rumours today.
