Wolves

Reported Wolves target Jack Butland isn't thinking about his future ahead of England's World Cup adventure.

The former Blues goalkeeper has been linked away from Stoke following their relegation to the Championship, with Wolves supposedly interested in a move for him.

However, with the goalkeeper set for Russia, any deal is reportedly likely to get sorted after the tournament.

Meanwhile, reports on the continent claim that SC Braga are hoping to sign another reported target for Wolves, Pele.

The 26-year-old Rio Ave midfielder was tipped to join Wolves previously, and reports claimed that Nuno Espirito Santo could come back in for him this summer.

Braga could look to offer competition for his signature, if the rumours are true.

West Brom

Reports claim that Cardiff City's interest in Salomon Rondon could be cooled due to the striker's wages.

The Bluebirds were linked with the Albion man as they swap places between the Premier League and Championship, with Rondon allowed to leave for £16.5m.

However, his wages could prove to be a sticking point for Neil Warnock's side, who are looking to bolster ahead of the upcoming top flight season.

Meanwhile, West Brom are 8/1 to sign Leicester centre-back Roberth Huth.

The German defender is set to leave the Foxes following the end of this season, with a number of clubs being mentioned as a potential destination.

Albion sit behind Middlesbrough, Stoke and Cardiff according to the bookies.

Aston Villa

Bournemouth have placed a £5m price tag on striker Lewis Grabban, according to reports.

The striker spent the second portion of last season on-loan at Villa Park, and became the starting striker as Steve Bruce's side failed in the play-offs.

Had Villa gone up, a permanent deal would be likely. But following their defeat, a move for the forward could be shelved due to financial constraints.

Manchester United are the latest club reportedly being linked with a move for Villa star Jack Grealish.

The attacking midfielder has become the club's prized asset, but could be sold to help fund the side as financial worries begin to take their toll at B6.

It's yet to be seen if Grealish is willing to leave his boyhood club, with fans and Steve Bruce desperate to keep him at Villa Park.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
