Middlesbrough managed to sign goalkeeper Joe Lumley on a free transfer from QPR, yet Boro boss Neil Warnock is still hoping to bring in around eight new players this summer.
Strengthening his sqaud’s attacking options is the priority for Warnock and is an area which cost the Teessiders last season.
Following the departures of Britt Assombalonga and Ashley Fletcher, Boro are clearly short of strikers and will need to address the issue if they are to challenge for promotion.
Elsewhere in the Championship, some clubs are still looking for a new manager as well as new players.
Following relegation from the Premier League, West Brom may have finally found their next boss as they look for a quick return to the top flight.
Here are some of the latest rumours and news stories from the second tier.
