Wolves

Reports claim that Wolves are eyeing up a move for Uruguayan attacking midfielder Giorgian de Arrascaeta.

The 23-year-old plays for Brazilian side Cruzeiro and has netted three goals in 10 appearances this season so far.

Able to play on either wing as well as in his preferred central role, French side Monaco are also reportedly linked with him.

Meanwhile, Dutch winger Eljero Elia is also being tipped for a move to Molineux - according to reports.

The 31-year-old winger previously had a stint with Southampton before making the move to Turkish football.

He's registered eight goals and five assists this season for Basaksehir, and favours a left-sided role.

West Brom

James McClean is reportedly eager to make the move to Celtic this summer.

The West Brom winger is expected to leave The Hawthorns this summer following their relegation to the Championship, and he's made no secret of his desire to make the move to Celtic in the future.

He's already attracted interest from Derby and Burnley in previous transfer windows.

Spurs are now also reportedly interested in tempting Salomon Rondon away from West Brom.

The Venezuelan has a relegation clause of £16.5m, with West Ham also keen, according to reports.

The striker scored 10 goals this season for Albion, and also registered four assists.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce is keen to secure the services of Bristol City defender Joe Bryan this summer, according to reports.

The 24-year-old left-back has had an impressive season for the Robins and is apparently keen to test himself in the Premier League next season.

Burnley and Everton are also being linked, with some reports claiming the Clarets may have won the race to secure his services for £6m.

Meanwhile, Villa are also set to make an offer for Ligue 1 striker Stephane Bahoken, according to reports.

The RC Strasbourg forward has notched nine goals in 31 appearances this season, and is free to leave the French club this summer.

Barnsley are also thought to be keen, as are a number of European clubs.

Walsall
