Transfer Rumours - June 11

The extracts on this page are taken from various newspapers and media outlets. They do not reflect the views of the Express and Star.

Wolves

Should Wolves fail to land goalkeeper Rui Patricio, reports claim that they could turn to Sparta Prague stopper Florin Nita this summer.

Patricio is embroiled in a transfer saga at Sporting Lisbon, although Wolves are keen on completing a move.

Should they fail, reports claim they'll turn to the 30-year-old Romanian international.

Reports on the continent are linking Ignazio Abate with a move to Molineux.

The 31-year-old right-back has notched 22 international caps for Italy but could be set to leave AC Milan this summer.

A move to the US is also being talked about in the papers, although a step up to the Premier League could be a move for the defender to consider.

West Brom

Reports in Turkey claim West Brom are once again keen on Brazilian midfielder Josef de Souza, even looking at a €12m bid.

Albion were reportedly interested in signing the Fenerbahce man last summer, but no deal materialised.

Now it seems they are being linked again, although the loss of their Premier League status could prove a stumbling block.

West Brom are among the clubs reportedly interested in Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong.

The Scottish giants are now willing to entertain offers for the 26-year-old, who has just one year left on his current deal.

It's thought that Brighton, Crystal Palace and Southampton are also keen.

Aston Villa

Newcastle United are unlikely to make a move for Aston Villa star Jack Grealish this summer.

Rafa Benitez was reportedly eyeing the attacking midfielder, but Villa's asking price, which is north of £30m, has put them off.

It's thought that Spurs are leading the race for his signature, with Villa now accepting of the fact that they need to sell the playmaker to help balance the books.

Meanwhile, Alan Hutton is apparently willing to take a pay cut to stay at the club next season.

Villa are in the midst of a financial crisis, meaning any new deal for the right-back was unlikely to happen, although if he's willing to drop his wage a deal could be more affordable.

Rangers were apparently eyeing a move for the defender, but he would prefer to stay in the Midlands.

Walsall

Walsall are among a collection of clubs reportedly monitoring Brad Inman.

The Australian-born midfielder notched eight goals and 11 assists last season playing on-loan for Rochdale.

Peterborough have made Inman available for transfer, but he still has a year remaining on his current deal at the club.
