Wolves

Reports on the continent have claimed that it's unlikely Wolves will sign Porto striker Moussa Marega this summer.

The Malian striker has been linked with a move to Molineux, but reports now suggest that Nuno's relationship with the forward isn't one which the boss would like to re-kindle.

Marega reportedly felt 'ignored' by the now-Wolves boss during their time together in Portugal, meaning a move to the club seems unlikely.

Meanwhile, reported Wolves target Filipe Luis is angling for a new deal at Atletico Madrid.

The Brazilian full-back has been linked with a shock move to Molineux in recent days, with his contract up this summer.

However, now it appears the player is keen to re-sign for the Spanish club, according to reports.

West Brom

West Brom are reportedly keen on a move for Portsmouth forward Jamal Lowe.

The winger has impressed at Fratton Park this season, earning plaudits for his performances in League One over the course of the campaign.

Reports claim that Albion are joined by Leeds United and Middlesbrough in holding an interest in the 24-year-old - who's valued at £2m.

Meanwhile, Newcastle want £20m for ex-Albion loanee Dwight Gayle, according to reports.

West Brom have already announced that they will not attempt to sign the striker this summer, who impressed during his season-long stint in the Black Country.

It's reported that Gayle is free to leave Newcastle, with Rafa Benitez still keen on signing Baggies striker Salomon Rondon permanently.

Aston Villa

Reports claim that Tottenham Hotspur will cool their interest in Villa star Jack Grealish, should they sign Jack Clarke from Leeds this summer.

Spurs were heavily linked with a move for the Villa midfielder following the club's failure to secure promotion to the Premier League last season.

However, reports now suggest that if Clarke seals a move to London, that the interest in Grealish will diminish from a Spurs perspective.

Elsewhere, Chelsea are reportedly considering accepting their transfer embargo this summer, meaning Tammy Abraham would likely stay at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues are in the midst of a wrangle regarding a transfer ban, and reports now suggest they may accept a ban this summer in hopes that they'll be able to add to their squad in January via a reduction of the sentence, which covers two windows.

That would make any prospective move for the Villa loanee unlikely, with the club unable to add to their attacking ranks to replace the striker ahead of the season.

Walsall

No fresh Walsall rumours today.
