Wolves

Wolves are reportedly set to up their interest in Pape Abou Cisse with an £18m bid.

The 23-year-old defender has been linked with a move to Molineux, with Nuno keen to bolster his squad ahead of the season.

Arsenal have been credited with an interest in the Olympiacos man.

Meanwhile, Wolves have reportedly joined the race for Rafael Leao.

The Lille forward has been linked with several clubs this summer, with a move seemingly on the cards for the promising forward.

The 20-year-old is said to be a client of Jorge Mendes, creating further links with Molineux.

West Brom

Leeds are reportedly looking to make a late move for West Brom target Romaine Sawyers.

The Brentford midfielder has been the subject of a bid from Albion this month as they look to re-build ahead of this season.

However, reports now claim that Leeds could try and tempt him to Elland Road.

The Baggies are being listed as outsiders to sign Andy Carroll this summer.

Albion are thought to be after another forward following Kenneth Zohore's arrival, and the bookies are tipping the Baggies to be a potential destination.

Slaven Bilic's side are 11/1 to land the striker, with Newcastle current favourites.

Aston Villa

Frank Lampard has reportedly assured Tammy Abraham that he'll have first-team opportunities this season.

Villa were previously keen on bringing the 26-goal loanee back to B6 on a permanent basis, but are now unlikely to sign the striker.

Chelsea are unable to sign new players due to an ongoing transfer ban, leaving Lampard little option other than to utilise his younger players.

Meanwhile, Said Benrahma is reportedly keen to seal a move to Villa this window.

Villa have already shown an interest in the Brentford winger, although they are thought to want around £20m for his services.

Dean Smith is already edging nearer to signing Trezeguet on the flanks, although it's not known whether that will end his interest in the 23-year-old.

Walsall

Former Walsall duo Jon Guthrie and James Wilson could both be set to join Ipswich Town, as they're each training with the side.

Ipswich made the drop into League One last season, but are rebuilding ahead of their campaign.

Boss Paul Lambert is reportedly casting his eye over the pair, who both played for the Saddlers in recent seasons.
