Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer news and rumours, including Saul Niguez to Sevilla, Etienne Youte Kinkoue to Wolverhampton Wanderers and Joe Taylor to Watford.

Sevilla are reportedly interested in signing Atletico Madrid midfielder Saul Niguez this summer.

The 29-year-old has been with Atletico since 2012, making 427 appearances for the club in all competitions, including 49 outings during the 2023-24 campaign.

Saul has another two years left to run on his contract at Wanda Metropolitano, but there is currently speculation surrounding his future with Diego Simeone's side.

According to Cadena SER, Sevilla have identified the Spaniard as a top midfield target this summer.

The report claims that Saul's current wage demands will be a problem for the club, but there is a chance that Atletico could let him leave on a free transfer this summer, with a contract termination a possibility.

Saul was allowed to spend the 2021-22 campaign on loan at Chelsea, but he struggled to make his mark for the Premier League outfit, only managing 10 appearances in England's top flight.

Wolves 'keen' on move for Youte Kinkoue

Meanwhile, according to Football Insider, Wolverhampton Wanderers are keen to sign Le Havre defender Etienne Youte Kinkoue during this summer's transfer window.

The 22-year-old has entered the final year of his contract with his French club, and it has been suggested that he could be available for around £7m this summer.

Wolves are allegedly keen to bring him to the Premier League, but the club could face competition from English rivals Nottingham Forest.

Youte Kinkoue, who spent time with Inter Milan during his youth career, has made 29 appearances for Le Havre since arriving in January 2023.

Last season, the 6ft 5in centre-back 24 appearances at club level, including 22 outings in Ligue 1.

Watford 'among' the clubs keen on Taylor

Elsewhere, Watford are reportedly among the clubs keen to sign Luton Town striker Joe Taylor during this summer's transfer window.

The 21-year-old represented Colchester United on loan in the first half of the 2023-24 campaign, scoring 12 times during an impressive spell with the Essex outfit.

Taylor then moved on loan to Lincoln City for the second half of last season, making the step-up to League One level, and he managed 10 goals in 19 appearances in the third tier.

According to Football Insider, a number of Championship teams are keen to secure his signature.

The report claims that Watford are among the clubs interested in a deal, with Luton believed to be willing to let him leave for the right price this summer.

Taylor featured on five occasions for Luton during the 2022-23 campaign after making the move to the club from Peterborough United in January 2023.
