The summer transfer window continues to be a busy one for clubs across English football’s second tier with the new EFL Championship season kicking off in less than two weeks.
Sheffield United are ‘not giving up’ on trying to sign a Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder while a striker, who plays for Belgian side KV Oostende, says he would ‘welcome’ the chance to make a £4 million move to Burnley in this window.
Meanwhile, Huddersfield Town’s Lewis O’brien and Harry Toffolo have ‘agreed’ deals to sign for Nottingham Forest despite reports the deals had collapsed while a ‘number’ of clubs are said to be interested in signing two QPR goalkeepers.
Norwich City have taken three young starlets on trial as part of their working relationship with a Brazilian club and Bristol Rovers boss Joey Barton has said he would ‘love’ to sign a Stoke City player who spent last season on loan with the Gas.
Elsewhere, Middlesborugh are expected to offer a former Stoke City man a contract and Sunderland are being linked with a move for a Lincoln City defender.
Finally, a former Norwich City loanee has spoken publicly about his disappointing spell with the Canaries describing his treatment from a section of the supporters as ‘hard’.
