As the Championship season nears its conclusion, clubs will begin to look towards the transfer market as they aim to build for next season.
There is still plenty to be decided over the last few rounds of fixtures both at the top and bottom of the table.
However, all the focus will soon be on the transfer window, with more information expected next week around how long it will be open for this summer.
With that in mind, here are the latest transfer rumours and gossip coming from the Championship.
Mourinho keen on Spence
Middlesbrough are increasingly resigned to losing Djed Spence this summer.
That is according to ESPN, who are reporting that several Premier League clubs, including Tottenham, West Ham and Brighton, are preparing to step up their interest in Spence.
The 19-year-old has two years remaining on his contract, having only signed an extension with Boro in February.
West Ham enquire about Kipre
West Ham have made an enquiry for Wigan Athletic’s French defender Cedric Kipre.
The 23-year-old has caught the eye in the second-tier for the Latics this season and could leave the club this season due Wigan entering administration.
The report in the Mail also claims that Watford are also interested in Kipre alongside an unnamed club in Germany.
Trio eye Bond
Swansea City, Blackburn Rovers and Bristol City are ready to make a summer swoop for West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Jonathan Bond.
The 27-year-old Bond has made seven appearances in cup competitions and has featured four times under Slaven Bilic this season.
And according to Sky Sports, the Championship trio are eyeing the former Manchester United stopper ahead of the summer window opening.
