The likes of Huddersfield Town and Rotherham are working behind the scenes looking to conclude some key transfer deals, as they look to strengthen their squad further to aid them in what will be a gruelling season. Here's a look at some of the biggest Championship deals that could go through before next month's deadline.
5. Preston North End/Derby - Keinan Davis - IN
He signed a new contract with Aston Villa last week, which can often be the first step in a talented youngster being sent out on loan. He just might keep his place in the Villains squad, though. Photo: GEOFF CADDICK
6. Swansea City - Joe Rodon - OUT
West Ham need a centre-back, and they're having no luck in getting James Tarkowski from Burnley. Rodon looks to be a far more realistic option, and could cost around £15m - a fraction of Tarkowski's asking price. Photo: Jordan Mansfield
7. Watford - Ismaila Sarr - OUT
The club record signing - £40m! - is unlikely to stick about to play Championship football this season, but the Hornets will want at least £35m for him. He could well leave on loan, for the time being. Photo: Naomi Baker
8. Derby/Watford - Jordan Obita - IN
The ex-England youth international was released by Reading at the end of last season, but looks like he could secure a switch to another Championship outfit. Derby and Watford appear to be the front-runners. Photo: Dan Istitene
