Aston Villa to bid for £20m international or Nottingham Forest star, Leeds United playmaker to leave and Cardiff City agree deal for defender - Championship transfer rumours



Monday 17th June 2019



Here are the latest transfer rumours from around the Championship.

Cardiff agree deal for Nelson

The Daily Mail are reporting Cardiff City have agreed a deal for Oxford United central defender Curtis Nelson.

The 26-year-old free agent is expected to snub interest from Sunderland and join Neil Warnock in south Wales, according to the reports.


Aston Villa in for £20m star

Aston Villa are hopeful of signing Said Benrahma from Brentford, despite the Championship club putting a £20m price tag on the winger.

The Express and Star report Dean Smith is keen on the player he used to manage after he netted 11 goals in his first season in English football.

Villa are unwilling to pay £20m but there are still hopes a deal can be negotiated.

Nottingham Forest's Joe Lolley is being considered as an alternative although they will certainly be reluctant to let him go.





Stoke eye midfielder

Stoke City are hoping to add players to their squad during the summer transfer window and have their eyes set on improving their midfield, according to the Daily Mail.

Nathan Jones wants to sign Barnsley defender Liam Lindsay, while the Tykes' Adam Davies, Wigan Athletic's Nick Powell and Millwall striker Lee Gregory are among the list of names who have been linked with the club.

Now another name has joined the list and that is QPR midfielder Jordan Cousins.

The former England under-20s international is on Jones' radar having featured 33 times in the Championship last season for the Londoners.





Fulham playmaker courting interest

Fulham star Jean Michael Seri may not be plying his trade in the Championship next season after his club were relegated from the Premier League.

The central midfielder impressed in the top tier after making 32 league appearances. He couldn't prevent Fulham from suffering relegation but he could still yet move away.

Crystal Palace, Inter Milan and Napoli are all interested in the 27-year-old, according to Calciomercato.




Leeds playmaker set for exit

Leeds United have reportedly received a bid from Gamba Osaka for Yosuke Ideguchi.

The 22-year-old midfielder joined Leeds from the Japanese club in 2018 before he spent part of last season on loan at Greuther Furth.

Now it's said that Gamba Osaka want to bring Ideguchi home, according to reports in Japan .





Preston turn down bid

Preston North End have reportedly turned down a bid for Callum Robinson.

An unnamed Premier League club are said to have put in a transfer offer for the 24-year-old.

The 24-year-old forward was Preston's top scorer last season with 13 goals and has since courted interest from the top tier.

Ask Fulham fans if Jean Michel Serri "Impressed" in the prem for them last season, I think they may give a different account of things. The guy was a small, fat, flop :lol: .
