Transfer Rumours - July 30

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

Perennially linked striker Andre Silva is reportedly set to join Galatasaray on-loan this month.

Wolves are often linked with the AC Milan forward, but it seems that he could be headed elsewhere after a questionable season in Serie A.

Rumour had it that the Italian side had been issued a bid from an unnamed Premier League side to take the striker on-loan.

Meanwhile, Wolves are 33/1 to sign Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw before the transfer deadline.

Following Barry Douglas' departure, the Englishman has popped up alongside Wolves on some bookies' cards - although it would be a long-shot.

Spurs are the favourites to sign the defender, with Everton and Chelsea also considered as outsiders for his signature.

West Brom

Albion are set to do battle with Middlesbrough for QPR midfielder Luke Freeman, according to reports.

Former Baggies boss Tony Pulis apparently eyes Freeman as an extra creative option for Boro as he puts his stamp on the side.

However, Darren Moore could be set to try and tempt Freeman to The Hawthorns.

Reports elsewhere claim that Celtic and Leicester are now chasing Albion defender Craig Dawson.

The centre-back has been linked away all summer, with Burnley one of the previous favourites for his services.

Now it seems that Celtic and Leicester are the front-runners in the race for the Englishman.

Aston Villa

Steve Bruce could be set to pull off a shock loan return for Robert Snodgrass, according to reports.

The Scot was a big hit at Villa Park last season, and would likely have been signed permanently should the Villans have secured promotion.

However, now it seems Bruce is keen on bringing him back to B6, as long as West Ham are happy to let him go temporarily once again.

Stoke are reportedly refusing to give up on signing Villa defender James Chester, despite the Welshman wanting to stay in the Second City.

Reports suggest that Stoke are set to offer £10m and Charlie Adam to Bruce to try and lure him into selling.

Bruce has made a dramatic u-turn regarding his star players, claiming that the club will look to keep them, after their financial burdens were solved by fresh investment.

Walsall

Manchester United defender Regan Poole is reportedly being tracked by Dean Keates.

The young defender is reportedly likely to head out on-loan this summer as he looks for first-team experience away from Old Trafford.

Keates is in need of defensive reinforcements as they approach the start of the season.
