Championship rumours: Middlesbrough eyeing Patrick Roberts, Hull City to target Josh Hawkes

The Championship returned to our television screens on Saturday afternoon for the first time since March.

Before then, the transfer rumours have been a major source of sports news, with teams still aiming to improve their squad for next season.

However, due to the coronavirus outbreak, clubs’ finances may be heavily impacted and this could be one of the quietest windows in terms of money spent, but teams are still aiming to find any bargains from across Europe.

With that in mind, here are the best Premier League transfer rumours from today.

Beren Cross' Leeds United Q&A ahead of Cardiff vs Leeds

Leeds targeted young 'keeper

Leeds United reportedly tried to sign Norwegian talent Kristoffer Klaesson from Valerenga earlier this season, according to the Eliteserien club.

As reported by Dagsavisen, Leeds United showed ‘strong interest’ in the teenager.

The 19-year-old Norway youth international became the number one goalkeeper at the Oslo-based club last season, featuring in 12 games, and has maintained that position for the start of the new season.

Kiko Casilla's long-term future at Elland Road remains uncertain whilst Illan Meslier is only on loan.

Boro eye Roberts

Middlesbrough are interested in re-signing Manchester City loanee Patrick Roberts for next season.

The 72 is reporting that Roberts will leave Manchester City again this summer and Boro will be at the front of the queue for his signature.

City paid around £12 million to sign the 23-year-old from Fulham in July 2015.

Barnsley and Hull interested in Hawkes

Barnsley, Hull City and Sunderland are interested in Hartlepool United's Josh Hawkes.

TEAMtalk is reporting that the midfielder is also a target for Premier League duo Sheffield United and Burnley, as well as Portuguese side SC Braga.

The 21-year-old  is out of contract at Hartlepool this summer and is believed to be weighing up his options.
