Championship clubs line up for Copa America star as Premier League outfit eyes £30m duo
A round-up of the latest Championship transfer news
The summer transfer window is beginning to hot up and Championship clubs are starting to get their business done. Sheffield Wednesday are among the sides who have been most active with the Owls bagging six new signings already, with Olaf Kobacki being the latest man to join the club.
Sheffield United are yet to dip into the market with takeover talks being the hold up there. However, the club need to make additions if they are to compete at the top end of the Championship under Chris Wilder this season.
Here's a round-up of what's going on elsewhere in the second tier as the two Sheffield clubs' rivals do business.
Ipswich 'bid' for Hull pair
Ipswich Town have reportedly offered Hull City £30m for the services of Jaden Philogene and Jacob Greaves. That's according to Football Insider, who claim the Premier League side are keen on adding the pair to their ranks.
Greaves and Philogene were among the Championship's top performers last season and the latter has reportedly been subject to interest from Barcelona this summer. Greaves, on the other hand, has been linked with a move to Everton and West Ham with Ipswich facing stiff competition.
According to Hull Live, though, Hull would be more likely to accept a deal worth around £40m, but whether the Tigers have responded to the proposal remains unknown.
Swansea bag K League star
According to Korean side Gwangju's website, Swansea City have completed the purchase of forward Ji-Sung Eom. The 22-year-old is rated highly in Korea and he made his international debut for South Korea in January 2022 against Iceland.
He has made 108 appearances for Gwangju, where he has been since 2021, with 20 goals coming along the way. Ji-Sung will look to force his way into Luke Williams' squad as the club look to kick on after finishing 14th in the Championship last season.
Trio want Panama international
Burnley, Watford and Cardiff City are among the clubs keen on signing Panama international Edgardo Farino, according to Football Insider. Farino, who currently represents Independiente, also has interest from Feyenoord this summer with a move to Europe looking likely for the 22-year-old.
The centre-back played a key role in Panama reaching the quarter-finals of the Copa America and his performances have not gone unnoticed, it seems.
