Key Leeds United star 'deciding on future' amid interest as Norwich City set to lose star man

The new Championship season is almost upon us with just a week to go until the big kick-off. Millwall and QPR’s pre-season friendlies are now over and done with, and all focus is now on preparing for next week’s clashes, with starting XIs being locked in.

New signings are still being worked on, of course, with the transfer window running until the end of August, but time is running out to get players locked in before the first game. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours from around the second tier.

Gnonto links

Leeds United could be set to lose another key player after seeing Crysencio Summerville head to West Ham and Archie Gray to Tottenham. Star winger Wilfried Gnonto, who was heavily linked with an exit last summer, is reportedly considering his future.

According to Inter Live, Parma, Venezia and Genoa are all interested in offering Gnonto a return to Italy. It’s reported all three clubs are considering making a loan approaches with the option to buy. Leeds are not likely to be keen on offloading Gnonto and they are not under pressure to sell due to exits they have already agreed this summer. Gnonto stayed away from training to push for a move last summer, but Leeds stood their ground and the Italian ended up returning to the fold.

Norwich to lose key man

Norwich City look set to lose one of their best players in Gabriel Sara. According to FootballTransfers, the Canaries have agreed a deal with Galatasaray worth around £19.6million.

Leeds were also linked with Sara, although it was quickly made clear the midfielder was out of their price range. The report suggests a deal has now been agreed, with a further £2million potentially due in bonuses. Sara is expected to pen a deal up to 2029 with the Turkish giants.

Campbell gets his pick

Former Stoke City striker Tyrese Campbell is attracting plenty of attention this summer after leaving the Potters at the end of his contract. According to WalesOnline, the Swans are pursuing a deal but face plenty of competition.

It’s claimed Rangers and a number of EFL clubs are currently in contact with Campbell over a possible deal. The striker is running out of time if he wants to start the new season with a club, but it seems he does have plenty of offers as he looks to return to the game after a difficult summer that saw his father, Kevin Campbell, pass away.
