Wolves

Reports of Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio heading to Wolves are building pace online.

The goalkeeper is apparently desperate to leave the club, even reportedly writing a document asking to be released from his contract.

The claims suggest that Wolves and Benfica are the two likely destinations for the stopper.

Huddersfield Town are being linked with move for reported Wolves target Andre Silva.

The AC Milan striker has a price tag of more than £30m according to reports, and could be set to depart Italy this summer.

Wolves have regularly been linked with a move, but now it seems the Terriers are also keen.

West Brom

Reports claim that Crystal Palace could be targetting Jake Livermore this summer.

The midfielder had a strong finish to Albion's relegation campaign, earning a nomination for the Premier League player of the month award.

It's thought that the Eagles could value the England international at £10m, if the reports are true.

Last season's loanee Daniel Sturridge could be set to a move to Besiktas this summer, according to reports.

The Liverpool striker spend a short spell at The Hawthorns last season, and is now set to depart Anfield for good this summer.

It's thought that Sturridge is not in Jurgen Klopp's plans for the future at Liverpool.

Aston Villa

Former Aston Villa skipper John Terry is odds-on favourite to link up with Frank Lampard at Derby this summer.

Terry left Villa Park after failing to help the club to promotion via the play-offs, and after confirming his exit is now set to find a new club.

Former teammate Lampard took over at the club last month, and now looks to be the bookies favourite to secure the 37-year-old's signature.

Villa have been linked with a loan move for Watford stopper Costel Pantilimon.

The towering goalkeeper is reportedly weighing up his options after failing to secure a starting spot at Vicarage Road last season - going on-loan to Nottingham Forest in January.

It's thought that Steve Bruce won't be able to bring Sam Johnstone back to the club on-loan after failing to secure promotion.

Walsall

Bolton are leading the race to sign Walsall star Erhun Oztumer.

The midfielder is set to leave the club this summer as his contract expires, with a move to the Championship a near-certainty.

Preston and Blackburn are also being credited with an interest.
