It’s set to be another busy summer transfer window for clubs in the second tier of English football and Preston North End are already setting their sights on new recruits according to their manager.
Meanwhile, Peterborough United could very well be playing in League 1 next season but the club have been looking at tralists while Hull City are being linked with a Slovenian international midfielder.
Fulham appear to be targeting a keeper as a priority and their latest transfer link could cause problems for London rivals West Ham.
Elsewhere, a former Leeds United manager believes a current Reading star would be a good fit at Elland Road while a Champions League outfit could make a summer move for a former Nottingham Forest full-back.
Speaking of Forest, they might consider a permanent move for loanee James Garner with reports suggesting that Manchester United would be willing to let the player go.
Finally, West Brom look to have secured a current loanee on a permanent deal for next season after triggering a clause in the player’s loan contract and a Cardiff City standout says it was a ‘no brainer’ making the decision to join the bluebirds.
