Wolves defender Conor Coady could leave for a ‘cut-price’ transfer fee this summer as the club looks to get him off the books in the next window and they are ‘open’ to offers for his signature, as per a report by Football Insider. The former Liverpool man spent this past term on loan at Everton and helped the Toffees avoid relegation to the Championship on the final day after they beat AFC Bournemouth 1-0.

However, Sean Dyche’s side have decided not to sign him on a permanent basis and he is due to return to his parent club. The 30-year-old played 24 times for the Merseyside outfit in all competitions.

Striker wanted

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins is attracting interest from Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Manchester United, according to Fichajes. The ex-Brentford man remains under contract until June 2025 so Unai Emery is under no pressure to cash in on him anytime soon unless a bid that they simply can’t refuse comes in.

Watkins, who is 27-years-old, scored 16 goals last term and has now managed to find the net 43 times in 116 games since his switch to Villa Park. He started his career at Exeter City and broke into their first-team in the Football League when he was a youngster before his rise up to the top flight.
