Championship gossip: Aston Villa to launch £14m bid for Leeds United star; West Ham United keen on £30m striker; Celtic lead race for bargain defender

Bristol City fans are still waiting to see their club's major moves in the transfer window.

In the meantime, here is the latest gossip from the Robins' division.

Villa to launch Phillips bid

TEAMtalk report that Aston Villa are ready to launch a £14m bid for Kalvin Phillips.

Leeds United star Phillips is in-demand this summer and Villa are keen to add a holding midfielder after the departures of Glenn Whelan and Mile Jedinak.

Yet the Whites could demand up to £20m for the 23-year-old.

Hammers want Mitrovic

The Mirror report that Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic is in demand.

Fulham have placed a £30m price tag on their key man's head, with West Ham and Crystal Palace interested from the Premier League.

Yet Bayer Leverkusen are also eyeing up a move for the former Newcastle United man.

Connell chase

The Daily Mail claim that Celtic could land Bolton Wanderers' prized asset Luca Connell for as little as £240,000.

The highly-rated 18-year-old is wanted by a number of clubs but has signed an academy contract with Bolton.

Yet that would not prevent him from moving abroad for a low compensation fee.
