Championship transfer rumours: Aston Villa linked with free agents, Leeds set to miss out on target, four clubs fighting for Bakary Sako | 10 September

Aston Villa are looking for a replacement for John Terry in the free transfer market and are reportedly chasing a few options including Robert Huth and Bakary Sako.

Sako is also wanted by West Brom, Nottingham Forest and Middlesbrough after leaving Crystal Palace earlier in the summer.

With Terry headed for a shock move to Spartak Moscow, out of contract James Collins is said to be stalling talks with Ipswich in the hope Steve Bruce will offer a return to his former club.

Ex-Villa striker Gabby Agbonlahor has said he wants to join Scottish side Celtic after he was released at the end of last season.

Leeds United are likely to miss out on Yasin Ben El-Mhanni, who is said to be in talks with Belgian side Royal Antwerp as Standard Liege have also made contact.
