Free agent Hal Robson-Kanu, Leeds United and Sheffield Wednesday all feature in our transfer round-up
Former Reading FC striker Hal Robson-Kanu leads the way in our Championship transfer rumour round-up.
The Welsh frontman is the man of the moment following his sensational strike in the 3-1 victory over Belgium at Euro 2016.
The 27-year-old was released by Royals this summer so is currently without a club.
Elsewhere,
Sheffield Wednesday have signed a Scotland striker and Leeds United are
said to be up against Premier League winners Leicester City for Spanish
striker Samu Saiz.
Here's a round-up of Sunday's rumours doing the rounds.
Leeds United
The club are reportedly set for a transfer battle with Leicester City for Spanish striker Samu Saiz.
The 25-year-old striker has been playing with Huesca in Spain’s second tier, where he scored three goals in 29 appearances.
The
Whites are eyeing a replacement for Mirco Antenucci. Also in the mix
for the frontman are Spanish sides including Sporting Gijon and Las
Palmas.
Saiz has a release clause of £420,000 written into his
contract, meaning if any of the teams matches it, Huesca will have no
option but to let their striker hold contract talks.
Former Reading striker Hal Robson-Kanu could be set for a move to the Premier League.
The frontman is a free agent and four Premier League clubs are believed to be interested in his services.
Robson-Kanu
has turned in several impressive displays for Wales at Euro 2016 and is
set to start in the semi-final against Portugal on Wednesday.
MK Dons
The club have re-signed Nicky Maynard just a month after he was released from the club.
The
29-year-old scored eight times in 23 starts last season, but he was
only on a short term deal with the club and decided to leave the team
after their relegation to League 1 so he could stay in the Championship.
However, he will be returning to Stadium:MK after signing a one year contract with the club.
Maynard said: “I’m pleased to be back. I enjoyed my time here last season and I got to know the players and staff well."
Sheffield Wednesday
Have signed former Everton defender Jordan Thorniley.
The
towering young talent joins the Owls after graduating through the
Goodison academy ranks to pen a first-year professional deal on
Merseyside.
However, the contract expired over the summer and the
19-year-old centre back has moved over the Pennines to sign for one
year at Hillsborough.
The Owls have also signed Scotland striker Steven Fletcher.
The 29-year-old had been linked with a move to Celtic and Greek side AEK Athens had shown an interest in the former Hibs man.
Fletcher
was released by Sunderland last month having spent the second half of
last season on loan at Marseille and has now signed a deal with the side
who lost out in the Championship play-off final last season.
Newcastle United
Serie A side Lazio are currently leading the race to sign Newcastle United’s French winger Florian Thauvin.
The
Magpies want €18m in order to part with the player. Marseille have yet
to make an offer for the player to the Championship side and could only
afford a loan deal.
Thauvin is prioritising OM, but time is running out.
Preston North End
Anders Lindegaard has joined Preston North End after having his West Brom contract terminated by mutual consent.
Lindegaard
arrived at The Hawthorns from Manchester United in August 2015 but
found game time limited under Tony Pulis, making just one appearance for
the club in a 3-0 League Cup defeat to Norwich City.
