Transfer Rumours - August 7

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

Newcastle United are among the bookies' favourites to sign Wolves winger Ivan Cavaleiro this summer.

The Portuguese forward has been linked with an exit following Wolves' promotion to the Premier League, with those rumours heightened by the impending arrival of Adama Traore.

Fulham are 2/1 favourites for his signature, with Newcastle just behind at 4/1.

Meanwhile, Wolves are an outside bet according to some bookmakers for an outlandish move for Croatian international Mario Mandzukic.

The Juventus striker is likely to remain in Turin this season, but Premier League sides Manchester United and Chelsea are among the bookies' favourites to tempt him to depart the club.

Wolves are 40/1 to bring the striker to Molineux.

West Brom

West Brom are eyeing the arrival of Fenerbahce midfielder Ozan Tufan, according to Turkish reports.

The stories suggest that Albion will pay £2.5m for the international midfielder, with Fenerbahce willing to sell to meet FFP guidelines.

The 23-year-old is not in the plans of the current boss at the European club and rarely featured during the final half of last season.

West Brom defender Kieran Gibbs is reportedly wanted by Serie A side Torino.

Reports on the continent claim that officials from the club are headed to the UK to thrash out a deal for the full-back, who has been linked with a move all summer.

Torino are reportedly willing to offer Afriyie Acquah in exchange for the ex-Arsenal man.

Aston Villa

Goalkeeper Orjan Nyland is expected to complete his move to Aston Villa today, according to reports.

The Norwegian will reportedly sign for a £1m fee from Ingolstadt, and will rival Jed Steer for the starting spot at Villa Park.

Steer put in a strong performance as Villa beat Hull City 3-1 on Monday, making a number of saves to keep Villa level before they went ahead in the second half.

Middlesbrough are being linked with a move for Aston Villa striker Jonathan Kodjia, according to reports.

Kodjia struggled to make an impact last season following his return from injury, but was prolific the season before, notching 19 goals.

Boro have seen Patrick Bamford depart, and reportedly see Kodjia as a replacement - although Steve Bruce has confirmed that he's not being forced to sell players following fresh investment in the club.

Walsall

Coventry City are set to sign Walsall forward Amadou Bakayoko, after hijacking Bristol Rovers' move.

The 22-year-old was left out of the Saddlers squad that secured an opening day victory over Plymouth.

The Express & Star understands the fee for the striker is somewhere between £150,000 and £200,000.
