Sheffield United are planning a bid for HNK Rijeka centre-back Darko Zuparic, according to reports in the English media.

The Blades have also been linked with a move for the Croatian’s teammate Simon Sluga, but they are believed to be preparing a £1.5m offer for the defender instead.

Bournemouth are reportedly lining up a £10m offer for Swansea right-back Connor Roberts after being impressed with the player’s form this season.

The Cherries are looking for a replacement for Nathaniel Clyne, who is returning to Liverpool after a six-month loan spell.

Aston Villa and Derby County are the latest clubs to join the race for Leeds midfielder Kalvin Phillips, according to reports.

The 23-year-old is already being targeted by a host of Premier League clubs, including the likes of Newcastle and Bournemouth, who are said to be weighing up a £15m bid.

Phillips was a key player for Leeds as the Yorkshire club narrowly missed out on promotion to the top flight.
