The summer window is in full flow and deals are being done across the pyramid. There has been a noticeable spike in transfer speculation due to the looming ‘mini deadline day’ of June 30.

However, it is not always easy to know if clubs are acting with this deadline in mind or not, and there is no suggestion any of the following stories have emerged as a result of it.

Here are the latest transfer headlines on Saturday, June 29.
