3. Scott McKenna (Aberdeen to Various)
The SPFL outfit have already rejected approaches from Nottingham Forest and QPR for the wantaway defender. He has travelled to Croatia ahead of the Dons’ Europa League clash, but don’t let that deter you… | Getty Images Photo: Ian MacNicol
4. Kalvin Phillips (Leeds United to Various)
Aston Villa, Sheffield United and Burnley have been linked, though Leeds do retain confidence of keeping him. But with the Whites selling some of their key stars this summer, could there be one final twist? | Getty Images Photo: Matt King
