Sheffield United are interested in signing Real Betis striker Loren, according to reports in the Spanish media.

The 25-year-old is deemed surplus to requirements by the La Liga club, despite making 45 appearances last season, scoring eight goals.

Chris Wilder’s side will, though, face competition from three Spanish clubs for Loren, with Espanyol, Osasuna and Granada all said to be keen.

West Brom are reportedly poised to sign West Ham defender Reece Oxford.

New Baggies boss Slaven Bilic worked with the youngster at the Hammers and is keen on linking up with the centre-back once again. A £4m transfer is close to being finalised.

Brighton are confident of securing a deal for Portsmouth centre-half Matt Clarke, according to reports.

The 22-year-old is out of contract next summer, and rather than lose him for nothing, Pompey have opted to sell up.

Stoke City were also said to be interested in Clarke but the Seagulls look to be in pole position for the defender. A deal worth £3.9m is being hashed out.
