Championship transfer gossip: Aston Villa keen on Leeds United star, Derby County linked to Brighton goalkeeper, Arsenal legend a Swansea City candidate

Villa raising the Roofe

Football Insider claim that Aston Villa are preparing to make a bid for Kemar Roofe.

Newly-promoted Villa are looking to bolster their strike force and feel the Leeds United front man would fit the bill.

Roofe scored 15 times for Marcelo Bielsa's team last season and scored in the first leg of their play-off defeat to Derby County.

Derby keen on Walton

Derbyshire Live report that Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Christian Walton has been linked with a move to Derby County.

The 23-year-old stopper has spent the last two seasons on loan at Wigan Athletic and has now attracted interest from the Rams.

Current Derby number one Kelle Roos is out of contract this summer.

Henry linked with Swans

Wales Online report that former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry is the latest name to have been linked with Swansea City's vacant managerial post.

Bookmakers Sky Bet have backed the Frenchman at odds of 5/1 to take over at the Liberty Stadium, placing him as joint-second favourite with Gus Poyet.

Tranmere Rovers boss Micky Mellon continues to lead the way, and is odds on at 1/2, but Henry’s entrance into the frame could well cause some excitement among a section of Swans fans.
