That's just one of the rumours doing the rounds in the Championship today as teams look to strengthen ahead of the 2018/19 campaign.

Here's the news hitting the headlines today:

West Brom are set to hand Middlesbrough target James Morrison a lifeline. The central midfielder was linked with a move back to Teesside earlier this month with his contract at the Hawthorns set to expire.
