Championship rumours: Leeds handed major transfer blow, Bristol City chase international defender

The Championship season draws to a close this weekend and the focus will quickly start to shift towards the summer transfer window.

Now less than a month away, there will be plenty of rumours and shakers over the course of the coming months and many clubs will be busy preparing for the drama that is to follow as they seek to secure new additions and retain the services of key players.

A host of gossip and rumours are already floating around and we have gathered some of the latest snippets for you below.

Leeds United have suffered a blow in their pursuit of PSV Eindhoven midfielder Justin Lonwijk as the Eredivisie title-chasers have offered him a new contract, according to Dutch outlet ED , although he is yet to make a decision on his future.

If the 19-year-old decides he wants to leave Holland, Leeds could secure his services for a minimal fee of just €400,000 as compensation to the Dutch side.

Bristol City are locking horns with Fulham and Celtic in the hunt for Iran international Milad Mohammadi this summer as they seek to land his services on a free transfer, as confirmed by Bristol Live.

The full-back sees his contract with Russian side Akhmat Grozny expire this summer and the 25-year-old has plenty of suitors from across the continent, which makes it a challenge for the Robins to land his signature.

Swansea City assistant Billy Reid has admitted the club are not able to make preparations for the summer transfer window due to the continued uncertainty around their financial situation, he told Wales Online .

The club face a stern task this summer retaining the services of key players, with Oli McBurnie and Daniel James among those to have courted interest from elsewhere.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce has confirmed he has offered a new deal to star goalkeeper Keiren Westwood, in quotes published by the Sheffield Star, with his current deal expiring in the summer.

Westwood has been a mainstay of Bruce’s side since he took charge of the Owls and the boss is determined to retain the services of the Republic of Ireland international ahead of his first full season in charge.
