Championship rumours: Bayern Munich join Jude Bellingham race and Birmingham eye Steven Gerrard

Championship clubs are preparing for the second round of action since last weekend's restart.

Second-tier football is now well and truly back with storylines aplenty on the pitch.

But there has been no letting up of the transfer rumours as the summer transfer window fast approaches.

Championship season so far

With that in mind, we run you through all the latest below.

Munich 'join race' for Bellingham

Bayern Munich have reportedly joined the race to sign Manchester United transfer target Jude Bellingham.

German publication Kicker is reporting that Birmingham are holding off on accepting an offer from Borussia Dortmund as they feel Bayern are interested and could offer a higher fee.

But the report also adds that the 16-year-old has committed his future to Dortmund and wants to move to Germany this summer.

Birmingham move for Gerrard

Birmingham City have reportedly made a move to appoint Rangers boss Steven Gerrard as their new manager.

The Blues are in the market for a new manager after announcing that Pep Clotet will leave the club at the end of the season.

And a Birmingham source has told Football Insider that the club have approached Gerrard to assess his interest in talking over this summer.

Johnson eyed by Burnley

Burnley could be set to swoop for Bristol City boss Lee Johnson as a replacement for Sean Dyche should he leave the club this summer.

According to a report by Sportsmail, Dyche could leave the Clarets this summer with relations between him and the club’s board having become fractious due to player contracts and a lack of transfer funds.

The report goes on to add that Johnson is on the Turf Moor club’s radar should Dyche depart, along with former Stoke City boss Mark Hughes.
