Leeds United transfer scuppered, trio chase Sunderland star - Championship rumours

Here are the latest Championship rumours for Tuesday, June 23.

Bellingham latest

Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund are said to be closing in on Birmingham City starlet Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham was being targeted by Manchester United ahead of the summer, but BBC are now saying Dortmund are confident of completing a move.

The report suggests Dortmund feel they can lure Bellingham by using Jadon Sancho as an example of how young players can take their career to the next level at the club.

Leeds move for Arsenal keeper scuppered

Leeds United's hopes of landing Arsenal goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez have been dealt a blow.

According to the Express, any hopes the Whites had of landing the long-serving Gunners stopper have been scuppered by starting keeper Bernd Leno's injury.

Leno was stretchered off during Arsenal's defeat to Brighton over the weekend and that could see them lean on Martinez, be it as a starter or a back-up.

The Argentine has only featured for Arsenal seven times in the league across his eight years at the Emirates Stadium.

Leeds were set to become the latest club to offer him first-team football following six loan spells, but a move is now in doubt.

Trio chase Sunderland defender

Two Championship clubs and one soon-to-be second tier outfit are chasing the signature of Sunderland defender Tom Flanagan.

That's according to Football Insider, who say Wigan Athletic, Birmingham City and Coventry City are all interested in signing the centre-back.

Flanagan is out of contract at the Stadium of Light at the end of this month.

He has been offered a new deal by the Black Cats but is yet to put pen-to-paper.

Sunderland's hopes of keeping the 28-year-old may now have been dealt a fresh blow with three clubs reportedly interested in taking him off their hands.
