Leeds United to fend off Liverpool interest, Aston Villa move for Portuguese playmaker as Celtic and Chelsea battle for rising star - reports

Here are the latest transfer rumours from the second tier. 

Leeds face Clarke battle

According to the Daily Star, Leeds United are desperate to keep hold of winger Jack Clarke.

The youngster has enjoyed a standout season at Elland Road but with big guns circling, it could prove a huge ask.

Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham have all expressed an interest in him - and this summer could be the time the star leaves Yorkshire for the upper echelons of the top flight.

Hoops and Blues go head to head

Celtic are aiming to beat Chelsea to the signature of highly-rated Bolton Wanderers forward Ronan Darcy.

Football Insider are reporting that despite the Blues having made enquiries about Darcy after he caught the eye of their scouts, their impending transfer ban has handed the Scottish giants a free run at securing the youngster’s signature.

The current SPL champions will pay a nominal compensation fee for the 18-year-old, as cross-border rules mean Scottish clubs are able to sign players from England for a fraction of the amount clubs south of the border need to pay in compensation.

But according to DerbyshireLive, Rangers, Stoke City, Millwall, Preston North End and Wigan Athletic are also said to be looking at the 21-year-old.

Edmundson, who has another year to run on his contract at Boundary Park, was named in the EFL League Two team of the season.

Villa like winger

Aston Villa have been linked with a move for Lincoln City winger Bruno Andrade.

According to LincolnshireLive, Portsmouth are also keen on Andrade, who was one of the Imps’ standout players in their championship-winning season.

The Portuguese winger has scored 10 times and bagged six assists this season.
