Clubs across the second tier really are getting busy in the market now, and we’ve gathered all the latest big stories and rumours in our Championship transfer round-up.
With roughly three weeks to go until the first round of Championship fixtures, it’s not surprising that teams are starting to make moves.
In recent days and weeks, we’ve seen the likes of Norwich City and Birmingham City show real signals of intent for the season ahead with big signings.
But now, other teams are getting in on the act and recruiting shrewdly. Meanwhile, others are completely falling apart at the seams.
It’s all part of the fun of the second tier. Find out who’s going where in our latest Championship transfer round-up.

We start our Championship transfer round-up with some pretty sad news, really. The financial mess at Sheffield Wednesday has really begun to take its toll, and players are now leaving the club left, right, and centre.
Danny Rohl is about to depart, with Henrik Pedersen taking over. But whether the new manager will actually have a squad is another matter.
The Owls can confirm that the current contracts of Michael Smith and Josh Windass have been terminated by mutual consent.
Sheffield Wednesday thank Michael and Josh for their services and wish them well for the future.#swfc

Josh Windass and Michael Smith have terminated their contracts due to failed payments. Djeidi Gassama and Anthony Musaba were sold last week. Captain Barry Bannan still needs a new contract.
It’s all a real mess, and we’ve a feeling it’s nowhere near over yet.
Wrexham make £4m signing
It feels like we’ve not spoken about Wrexham in our Championship transfer round-up for a while, but the Red Dragons are making moves once more.
Phil Parkinson has smashed Wrexham’s transfer record with the £4m capture of New Zealand winger, Liberato Cacace. Their previous record was the £2m paid for Sam Smith in January.
There’s a chance Wrexham may also move for John Egan. The defender is seemingly available for transfer and could leave Hull this summer.
There’s also a good chance Wrexham will target Josh Windass now he’s a free agent. They’ve been linked with him for a long time, and now’s their chance to make that deal happen.

The Callum Brittain saga has dominated Blackburn Rovers headlines for a while now.
Rovers signed a new right-back last week, with Ryan Alebiosu arriving from the Belgian league. That would suggest Brittain is off, but he was spotted in training on Thursday.
According to our sources, Middlesbrough have bid around £1.7m for the full-back, while Blackburn want at least £2.5m, perhaps even £3m if possible.
Meanwhile, Blackburn are determined to keep Igor Tyjon. The teenage star is wanted by Man Utd and Arsenal, but Rovers have promoted him to their first-team.
And, we could see a new face arriving at Blackburn soon. It’s said Rovers are keen on Colin Rosler, a centre-half plying his trade for Malmo in Sweden.
Championship transfer round-up: West Brom and Ipswich rejected, Hull City desperate, Ashley Young’s return
We complete our Championship transfer round-up with a run through some of the other top stories around the league. And, it seems rejection is in the air.
West Brom have been knocked back by Jeon Jin-woo, the top scorer in the K League. He registered 21 goal contributions in 26 games last term.
Meanwhile, Ipswich have also tasted rejection, with Marcel Ruiz turning them down. Still, at least Omari Hutchinson’s move to Brentford fell through.
Hull City may be under a transfer embargo, but Sergej Jakirovic is still eager to sign Matija Frigan. The Tigers boss has made it clear he is a fan of the striker and essentially told him to come to the Championship.
And finally, Watford have continued their impressive summer business. The Hornets rejected a move from Burnley for starlet Mamadou Doumbia, and are also eyeing up a move for Ashley Young. The 40-year-old could return to Vicarage Road, where he started his career.
