Championship gossip: Aston Villa handed boost over £20m striker bid; Leeds United and Newcastle United linked with £15m former Middlesbrough man; Nottingham Forest man wanted

Here is the latest gossip from the Championship.

Benrahma wants move

Birmingham Live report that Said Benrahma has told Brentford he wishes to join Aston Villa.

The striker, valued at £20m by the Bees, wants a reunion with former Griffin Park boss Dean Smith in the Premier League.

He has only been at Brentford one season, and scored 11 goals in all competitions.

Leeds want Gibson

Leeds Live report that Leeds United have joined the race for Ben Gibson.

Former Middlesbrough defender Gibson moved to Burnley for £15m last summer but struggled in his debut campaign, making just one Premier League appearance.

Norwich City, Sheffield United, Aston Villa and Newcastle United are also said to be interested.

QPR and Hull eye Forest man

Football Insider claim QPR and Hull City are eyeing up moves for Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall.

Worrall spent last season on loan at Rangers after finding himself out of favour at the City Ground.

Both clubs see the 6ft 3in colossus as a perfect way to boost their defensive options.
