Wolves

Reports in Italy claim that Wolves have made a £17.8m bid for Barcelona defender Yerry Mina.

Wolves are keen on the defender as they near their Premier League opener with Everton, and they've now firmed that up with a bid should the reports be confirmed.

It's reported that the bid is structured with more than £13m paid up-front, with the remainder of the fee coming in the form of add-ons.

Meanwhile, Barry Douglas is set for Leeds after reportedly having his medical in Yorkshire on Thursday.

The wing-back is being allowed to leave Molineux following the capture of Jonny Castro, who has joined on a season-long loan from Atletico Madrid.

It's thought that the fee sits at just £3m.

West Brom

Reports claim that Nacer Chadli has agreed a deal, in principle - with Turkish side Besiktas.

The club have been chasing the Belgian following his return from the World Cup, and they've reportedly agreed terms, but are yet to negotiate a deal with Albion.

It's reported that the Turkish side are seeking a loan move, with a fee of around £1.3m.

Tony Pulis is reportedly keen on a move for out of contract goalkeeper Boaz Myhill, who departed Albion earlier this summer.

Darren Moore has been quick to move on from his previous pair of stoppers, bringing in Sam Johnstone and Jonathan Bond to replace Myhill and Ben Foster.

Pulis is eager to seal a deal for his former back-up, in hopes that he'll play the same role at Boro.

Aston Villa

Villa are reportedly set to sign Atletico Madrid goalkeeper Andre Moreira on loan.

The Portuguese shot-stopper has struggled to break into the Spanish side's ranks, following a number of loans, and is set to head to Villa as competition for Jed Steer and Mark Bunn.

He would become the first incoming of the summer following the financial crisis which previously gripped the club.

Meanwhile, Spurs are reportedly confident that they can still broker a bargain deal for Jack Grealish, in spite of the fresh investment at Villa Park.

Grealish was expected to move to London in a cut-price deal amid Tony Xia's cash crisis, but following the fresh investment at the club Villa are now less inclined to do a quick deal.

It's thought that Spurs want to pay around £20m for the youngster, with Villa valuing him at almost double that amount.

Walsall

Florent Cuvelier is reportedly on trial at Scunthorpe, following his exit from Walsall.

The Belgian had numerous injury issues at the Banks's, and was released at the end of the season.

Scunthorpe are reportedly eyeing a deal for the midfielder, and are casting an eye over him ahead of the start of the upcoming campaign.
