The EFL campaign is over with the Premier League edging towards a conclusion.

And with the top flight season almost over, the talk of transfers and who will go where in the summer has already begun.

The Express & Star brings you the latest daily transfer column with all the latest talk surrounding your clubs.

Not all posts are the view of the Express & Star with some from third party outlets.

West Brom and Wolves could do battle over loanee

Albion are keen to bring impressive loanee Danny Imray back to the club from Crystal Palace this summer.

He enjoyed a loan spell with the Baggies and has one year left on his contract at Palace - with Albion keen to do a deal.

However, it looks like their bitter rivals Wolves have entered the race to sign Imray, along with Burnley and clubs in Germany.

James Morrison is said to be keen to keep Imray, according to reports, with a Black Country battle potentially about to kick off.

Albion are well placed to bring Imray back - but with clubs coming down from the top flight keen to make a move it could be difficult.

Moller Wolfe drops Wolves hint

A number of players will depart Wolves this summer - with David Moller Wolfe potentially one of them.

He only arrived last summer but has already been linked with a move away from the club to Serie A.

It has been an up and down season for him but there will no doubt be interest in him.

However, in an interview with the Wolves website he has dropped a hint that indicates he may well be around for next season.

He said: “It would be nice bringing more positive vibes to the next season, where we have a clear goal that we want to go straight back up, so that will be important.”

Everton want Wolves man

There will no doubt be interest in Hugo Bueno this summer - and it appears that there is already a club who are keen to lead the race.

The Wolves full back has previously been linked with Newcastle and Tottenham.

Now Everton are interested in bringing him to Merseyside. According to some reports, David Moyes’ side are interested in Bueno’s versatility.

Villa keen on Southampton man
