Transfer Rumours - May 29

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

Reports on the continent claim that Wolves are interested in a move for Valencia defender Mouctar Diakhaby.

The 22-year-old centre back only linked up with the Spanish club last summer, but made 38 appearances this season in all competitions, scoring three times.

The Frenchman has a reported release clause of £87m, although it's said that Wolves and Valencia could reach a compromise over any fee, should a deal be pursued.

Meanwhile, Wolves are also being linked with an interest in Inter forward Andrea Pinamonti.

Nuno's side have often been linked with the striker, who is just 20 years of age.

Reports suggest that Wolves face a battle with Ajax and Real Valladolid should they look to make a deal with Inter for the forward, who scored five times last season.

West Brom

Newcastle continue to be linked with West Brom players, with Kieran Gibbs and Jake Livermore the latest pair reportedly being eyed up by the Magpies.

Reports ahead of the end of the season suggested Newcastle could be keen on the duo, with hopes of a deal being made which involved Dwight Gayle staying at The Hawthorns permanently.

Albion have since confirmed that they will not re-sign the striker, meaning should Newcastle want to sign the pair that they'll need to cough up the cash.

Norwich are the latest side being linked with Dwight Gayle, following their promotion to the top flight.

Reports suggest that Daniel Farke's side are questioning the £7m fee being touted for Jordan Rhodes by Sheffield Wednesday, leading them to potentially moving for Gayle.

It's thought that Newcastle are willing to let the striker move on, with Salomon Rondon their chief target this summer.

Aston Villa

Villa are reportedly hopeful of sealing permanent moves for loanees Kortney Hause, Anwar El-Ghazi and Tyrone Mings following promotion to the Premier League.

It's claimed that Dean Smith's side are confident of tying up a deal for Bournemouth defender Mings, who has become a fan favourite having joined the club in January on-loan.

Moves for El-Ghazi and Hause are thought to be much simpler, with Villa having reported options to buy in their loan deals. Villa only have an option to match offers for Mings, but reports now suggest a deal could be done to bring him to B6 sooner rather than later.

The futures of Axel Tuanzebe and Tammy Abraham are less clear cut. It's thought that Villa would like to bring in both players, but their situations at their parent clubs could make things tricky.

Meanwhile, Villa are reportedly preparing a £10m bid for the services of Nottingham Forest midfielder Joe Lolley.

Lolley was superb for Forest this season, scoring 12 times whilst also registering 11 assists - and is an Aston Villa fan.

Reports suggest that following promotion, Villa are keen to invest in the midfielder, who only signed a new deal in February.

Walsall
