Millwall lose out on loan 'target' as Leeds United dealt Chelsea transfer blow

We had another chaotic day of Championship action on Saturday, with Millwall and QPR having mixed fortunes. The Lions lost 4-3 at Ashton Gate in what was arguably the game of the day in the second tier, while the Hoops picked up a big point away to Sheffield United, drawing 2-2 and holding on to the point despite having a man sent off with seven minutes remaining.

As attention turns to next week, clubs will continue to work on incoming deals with only two weeks remaining in the summer transfer window. Here we round up all the latest news and transfer rumours surrounding the second tier clubs.

Sagoe Jr finds club

Millwall have missed out on a move for Arsenal prospect Charles Sagoe Jr. The Lions were rumoured to be interested in the youngster in the winter, in particular, while there have been suggestions of them reigniting interest this summer.

Sagoe Jr joined Swansea City for the second half of last season but only made two league outings. He has now joined Shrewsbury Town on loan for this season, with Shrews boss Paul Hurst saying: "I'm really pleased to get Charles Sagoe Junior on board because I think we have been lacking options in that wide area. He is a player that we have been after for some time - we were interested in him during the January window. And this summer he went away on tour with Arsenal so we've had to be patient to get him.

"I think the fact we have been interested in him for some time has helped our case in getting the deal over the line. Now we need to get him up to speed because his pre-season has been a little bit different due to him going away with Arsenal.”

Humphreys deal

Burnley are said to have agreed a deal to land Chelsea youngster Bashir Humphreys, with the Yorkshire Evening Post having reported that Leeds have shown an interest in him this summer.

Fabrizio Romano has tweeted: “EXCL: Burnley have agreed deal to sign Bashir Humphreys from Chelsea. Loan with mandatory buy clause, it will become permanent for 5 year contract. Burnley see Bashir as a key defender for now and the future.”

West Brom struggling with deal

West Brom are still reportedly pushing to sign Joseph Nonge having been frustrated with their efforts so far. Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri says the Baggies are still waiting to hear back from Juventus as they look to find out whether a deal can be struck for Nonge.

The journalist reports that “thinngs are stagnating”, with West Brom seemingly struggling to make any real progress. The 19-year-old has made two senior appearances for Juve since coming through the club’s academy last year.
