Wolves

Wolves reportedly face competition from Everton for Stanislav Lobotka, who was linked with a move to Molineux earlier this month.

The Celta Vigo midfielder is reportedly set for a move from Spain, with £26m apparently enough to tempt them to sell.

However, with Idrissa Gueye reportedly set to leave the Toffees, Marco Silva sees him as a replacement - meaning Everton could be a serious competitor for his signature.

Reports on the continent have once again linked Wolves with Sassuolo loanee, Rogerio.

The full back is owned by Juventus, and reports claim that he could be available to buy for £15m this month.

The Brazilian has yet to feature for his parent club, but has done well at Sassuolo as they battle in Serie A this season.

West Brom

Charlton boss Lee Bowyer is urging Karlan Grant to stay at the club, amid interest from the likes of West Brom and Huddersfield Town.

The striker has been in superb form this season, sparking rumours of an exit from the Valley.

However, Bowyer is hopeful that he could stay put this month, despite Huddersfield reportedly leading the race to sign him.

On-loan West Brom forward Oliver Burke has admitted he could look to stay at Celtic following a good start to life at the club.

“It’s not really anything that’s been spoken about yet but I’m sure if I continue to keep doing well and stuff I’m sure I’ll want to stay here as a player,” he said.

Albion signed Burke for £15m - but have stated that they see him returning to The Hawthorns and playing a part in the future.

Aston Villa

Yannick Bolasie could be set to return to Crystal Palace this month, following his shock return to Everton from his loan spell at Villa.

The winger activated his option to return to Goodison Park this month, but Everton reportedly don't see him playing a part for them this season, meaning another move could be on the cards.

Palace have apparently expressed an interest in taking their former star on-loan, but Everton would supposedly prefer a permanent deal.

Tyrone Mings remains on Aston Villa's radar this month - according to reports.

Dean Smith is keen to bolster his defensive line, with a left-back, centre-back and defensive midfielder all reportedly areas the club are targeting before the deadline.

West Brom are thought to be leading the race for the Bournemouth man, who's set to leave on-loan this month.

Walsall

Dean Keates is keeping an eye on non-league in hopes of unearthing another gem this month.

Admitting that the club can't spend 'fortunes' on players, Keates has highlighted the likes of Dan Scarr and Josh Gordon, both of whom have spent time in non-league, as players that show the recruitment tactic can work.

Walsall are keen on bringing in a striker to assist Andy Cook, who has been in brilliant form of late.
