Transfer column: Wolves star linked with move as Villa 'target' additions

The latest transfer rumours from across the region.

Not all posts are the view of the Express & Star with some from third party outlets.

Mane interest

Reports have suggested that Wolves star Mateus Mane is attracting interest from Manchester United.

Liverpool have also been credited with admiration for the 18-year-old, but it is suggested United are considering a swoop for the midfielder, who Wolves hope will help fire them back to the Premier League.

Goalkeeper moves

United are also, reportedly, still keen on Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.

Reports surfaced some time ago about interest and it has been suggested the shot-stopper could return to his former club this summer.

He is expected to leave Wolves.

Villa striker search

Unai Emery’s side are reportedly in the mix to sign Randal Kolo Muani.

The France international spent last season on loan at Spurs but has since returned to parent club Paris Saint-Germain, while Italian side Juventus are also interested.

Midfield depth

Following the serious knee injury to Amadou Onana, Villa have been linked with a move for Mandela Keita.

The Parma midfielder is also being targeted by Everton and Leeds but Villa could now swoop.
