Here are the latest rumours from across the Championship.
Villa hopeful on Brentford winger
Aston Villa are still optimistic of securing a deal for Brentford winger Said Benrahma.
According to the Express and Star , Villa have been quoted a price tag of £20m for the 23-year old, but are looking to negotiate a lower fee.
Benrahma netted 11 goals for the Bees last season, his first in English football, and the West Londoners are reluctant to let him go on the cheap this summer.

BOWYER PENS NEW CHARLTON DEAL
What a 24 hours at The Valley. Yesterday, it looked like Lee Bowyer's spell as manager was off after a very oddly worded statement from the club essentially said he had asked for too much money to sign a new deal.
Less than a day later... he's put pen to paper on a one-year extension.
