Possible Championship transfers this summer
The summer transfer window is finally underway and Championship clubs are beginning to plot their moves ahead of next season. Speculation is already rife and with the World Cup Betting Tips 2018 also being taken into account, many deals could be on and off before the window closes.
Here are some deals that could go down…
Benik Afobe to Stoke
Stoke City are reportedly on the verge of securing a £12m deal for Wolves striker Benik Afobe.
The forward completed a permanent move to Wolves last week, but already looks set to be heading out and moving back to the Championship.
Andre Gray to Stoke
Another forward Stoke are targetting is Burnley forward Andre Gray. The striker has struggled to find a regular place at Burnley and could drop down to the second tier to rediscover his form.
Emi Buendia to Norwich
Norwich look set to seal the signing of Getafe winger Emi Buendia. The 21-year-old Argentine impressed in the second division of Spanish football last season.
Leeds have also been linked with Buendia, but reports claim Norwich have already secured a £1.5m deal.
Danny Ward to Norwich or Swansea
Liverpool goalkeeper Danny Ward has been touted with a potential switch to Norwich or Swansea.
The two Championship clubs appear to be battling it out for his signature, with Liverpool ready to let him leave.
John O’Shea to Reading
With his contract at Sunderland up this summer, reports claim that O’Shea has agreed to sign for Reading on a free transfer.
Reading have already secured the free signing of David Meyler from Hull.
Joao Carvalho to Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest are set to complete the signing of Joao Carvalho from Benfica for a club-record fee.
Reports claim that Forest are set to pay £13m for the Portuguese midfielder.
Marvin Johnson to Birmingham
Birmingham are keen on a deal for Middlesbrough winger Marvin Johnson this summer.
Middlesbrough look ready to cash in on Johnson after his development at the club stalled in the second half of last season.
James McClean to Stoke
Stoke are eyeing up a move for West Brom winger James McClean as they look to bolster their squad.
The Irish winger looks set to leave West Brom this summer and Stoke are ready to offer him a way out.
Sean Raggett to Rotherham
Rotherham are targetting a loan swoop for Norwich City defender Sean Raggett.
After their promotion from League One, Rotherham are looking to bolster their squad and see Raggett as an ideal defensive reinforcement.
Abel Hernandez to Leeds
Abel Hernandez looks set to leave Hull City this summer and reports claim that Leeds are one of the clubs interested in signing him.
The striker has been a consistent Championship goalscorer in the past and Leeds are eager to get a deal done.
