Elsewhere, there are updates on a host of other clubs from around the Championship as transfer activity hots up.

Here's the rumours doing the rounds today:

Middlesbrough's £5m deal for Ipswich Town striker Martyn Waghorn looks to have been hijacked by rivals Derby County. Reports suggested that Tony Pulis' side had been given permission to speak to Waghorn, but the same opportunity has now been afforded to Derby after they launched a late bid matching that of Boro.
