According to Bristol City Live, midfielder Josh Brownhill has drawn interested from many Premier League sides which includes Leicester City, Bournemouth, and Brighton.

The midfielder signed a new deal till 2021 with an option to extend it further for one more year. Last week, club's CEO Mark Ashton said -

Premier League clubs talk to us consistently about our players and their availability and where we are with their development. Our answer is always the same. We’re under no pressure to sell

There is no doubt about the quality of Brownhill, and it would be difficult to keep him if any club comes up with the right bid for the Englishman.

#3 Wolves are interested in signing Moritz Bauer from Stoke City

Nuno Espirito Santo's side is interested in Stoke City right back, Moritz Bauer, as reported by Wolves correspondent, Tim Spiers. The club from West Midlands have made a good account for themselves in the Premier League this season and would want to strengthen the back line to ensure a top half finish at the end of the campaign.

Matt Doherty is already the first choice right back for Wolves but the inclusion of twenty-six year old, Moritz would give Nuno more options down the right-hand side. The Austrian signed for Stoke in January 2018 but found hard to get a regular first team spot. However, he has enough quality to be a reliable back for Doherty in the side.

#2 Huddersfield make an offer for Bojan

David Wagner's side is bottom of the Premier League and struggling to get any positive results under their belt. They are eight points adrift of safety and are favorites to be relegated at the end of the campaign.

However, with sixteen games still to play, a run of good games could shift the momentum back for the Premier League side. According to HITC Transfer news, the Terriers had made an offer for Bojan Krkic who plays for Stoke City in the Championship.

The Spaniard had represented the likes of Roma and Ajax in his career and would certainly add some guile and creativity to a somewhat hapless Huddersfield side.

#1 Martin O'Neill to be appointed as new Nottingham Forest manager

According to the Sun, Nottingham Forest are set to appoint former Republic of Ireland boss, Martin O' Neill as the manager later today. The Irishman had a successful playing career with Forest and would want the same success as a manager as well.

O'Neill made 285 league appearances for Forest between 1971 and 1981, leading them to a league and cup double in 1979. He would have Roy Keane as the No 2 which would drive the club forward in their ambition to be in the playoffs later in the season.
