Wolves and Everton are ready to pounce on Danny Ings should Aston Villa allow the striker to leave.
Both clubs have struggled for goals all season and have been left in the depths of a relegation battle as a result.
The Toffees have already had a loan offer for the player rejected however Unai Emery will only allow the 30-year-old to leave permanently, says the Mirror.
The situation has been complicated by an injury suffered by first-choice striker Ollie Watkins in yesterday's 2-1 win over Leeds with the severity of the issue yet to be assessed.
