Cardiff City to sign striker imminently as Swansea City star leaves - latest transfer news and rumours

Deals are starting to be done after the transfer window opened at the start of the week. Here's the latest from the Championship.

Cardiff City and Wales star latest

Cardiff City are set to beat QPR, Derby and Millwall to the signing of Wales striker Kieffer Moore, according to reports.

Moore is close to leaving crisis-hit Wigan for around £2m, with the Bluebirds among those credited with interest.

And Football Insider now report the Bluebirds are winning the race, with a deal expected to be completed in the near future.

Bluebirds boss Neil Harris will want to put his stamp on this Cardiff City squad this summer and we will be able to read a lot into how he plans to reshape his squad with the signings he makes in this window.

Arrivals

Middlesbrough:

Former Cardiff manager Neil Warnock has completed his first signing as Middlesbrough boss on another day of transfer market movement.

Central-defender Grant Hall penned a three-year deal after leaving Championship rivals QPR as a free agent.

"I've known Grant for a few years now,” Warnock said.

“Everyone knows I’m looking at the spine of the team, and he’s the right fit for what we need.

“Grant is a smashing lad and I’m sure the fans will really take to him.”

Departures:

Swansea City

Swansea City goalkeeper Erwin Mulder has rejoined Dutch top-flight club Heerenveen on a two-year deal.

Mulder, 31, was a free agent after his Swansea contract expired and was not offered a new deal by Steve Cooper.

The Dutchman spent two years at Heerenveen before joining Swansea on a free in 2017.

Huddersfield Town

Promising Huddersfield Town striker Kit Elliott has joined Irish club Cork City on loan.

The 19-year-old, who signed his first professional contract with Town last November, could make his League of Ireland debut at home to Bohemians on Sunday.

Elliott, who enjoyed a loan with Concord Rangers in the National League last season, will stay with Cork until the League of Ireland season finishes in November.

Bristol City

Striker Matty Taylor has left Bristol City to sign for League One side Oxford United on a free transfer.

The 30-year-old penned a three-year deal with Karl Robinson's side, who missed out on promotion in the League One play-off final at Wembley.

Derby County

Former Norwich City striker Chris Martin has seen his seven-year spell with Derby County come to an end.

The 31-year-old has left Pride Park as a free agent having scored

Luton Town

Luton Town offered new deals to five players, but allowed midfield duo Callum McManaman and Jacob Butterfield to leave.

Both McManaman and Butterfield joined the Hatters as free agents last summer, but have now been allowed to move on.

Butterfield made 17 appearances in total, scoring one goal, while former Wigan winger McManaman scored four times in 26 appearances.
