Town face battle from Terriers to land Owls goal ace as rivals vie for Toffees midfielder
THE transfer talk is already accelerating in League One with a number of clubs announcing their retained lists.
We’ve wrapped up all the latest chatter from around the division for you...
RHODES RETURN
Huddersfield have moved to the front of the queue for Jordan Rhodes as they battle Ipswich for the former £10m striker’s signature, according to reports.
Sheffield Wednesday look likely to sell the man they signed from Middlesbrough in 2017 after being condemned to relegation from the Championship.
And, according to Yorkshire Live, it’s the Terriers who are leading the way for Rhodes’ signature, paving the way for a return to the club where he smashed in 87 goals as he made his name as a striker before joining Blackburn in 2012.
CONNOLLY CHASE
Everton’s Callum Connolly is being targeted by
Paul Cook’s Ipswich and Fleetwood this summer.
The midfielder spent the season on loan with the Cod Army, making 40 appearances and scoring two goals.
Connolly made his first-team breakthrough at Goodison Park five years ago, but has not gained any further senior experience there and has instead been out on a series of loan deals.
Now, Simon Grayson is keen on taking the 23-year-old to the Highbury Stadium on a permanent basis.
But he is said to face competition from Ipswich, with Cook undertaking a massive summer overhaul at Portman Road.
POSH WANT DOSH FOR QUARTET
Peterborough have transfer-listed four players and released six more as their preparations for the Championship continue.
Former Pompey targets Mo Eisa and Ryan Broom are among the players deemed surplus to requirements at London Road.
Keeper Dan Gyollai and midfielder Serhat Tasdemir are the other Posh contracted players who have been told they can leave.
Defenders Niall Mason, Frazer Blake-Tracy and
Sam Cartwright, midfield pair Louis Reed and Archie Jones along with striker Brad Rolt have all been released by boss Darren Ferguson.
COBBLERS OVERHAUL
Northampton have announced their retained list following relegation to League Two.
Keeper Steve Arnold, defender Alan Sheehan and winger Mark Marshall are all on their way from Sixfields.
Matty Warburton, Ricky Korboa and Ethan Johnston have also been released, while Lloyd Jones, Ryan Watson and Scott Pollocks have been offered new deals.
