Wolves are reportedly willing to let captain Batth leave, having already recruited Willy Boly on loan from Porto, Rio Ave’s Roderick Miranda, and Ryan Bennett on a free following his release from Norwich.

Hull City midfielder Tom Huddlestone is being linked with a return to first club Derby County, who are ready to activate a £2million release clause in his contract at Hull City.

West Bromwich Albion and Newcastle United are among the Premier League clubs considering a move for Huddlestone.

Huddlestone is also a target for his old Spurs manager Harry Redknapp, now in charge at Birmingham.

Middlesbrough are keen to sign Liverpool winger Sheyi Ojo on loan – and Anfield boss Jurgen Klopp looks set to agree to let the 20-year-old enjoy a stint of regular Championship football.

Newcastle are also interested, but Boro look to be ahead in the queue, with Liverpool believing the England Under-20 starlet would be better off in the second tier, building up confidence, this season.

Ojo has previously had loans at Wigan and Wolves.

If he signs, Ojo would be a third capture for Boro boss Garry Monk, following Norwich midfielder Jonny Howson and Derby right-back Cyrus Christie.
