The sun is shining and the transfer talk is heating up after the window opened for business yesterday. Here’s the latest.

Jack’s alright for Championship pair

The former Chelsea youngster’s stock has risen off the back of an impressive couple of seasons at London Road.

Peterborough director of football, Barry Fry, stuck a £10m valuation on Taylor after Ipswich’s interest was revealed last summer.

After making further bids in January it now looks like they will vie with their new Championship rivals for the Republic of Ireland international’s signature, according to Football Insider.

The Republic of Ireland international’s manager, Stephen Kenny, has stated a host of Championship sides are keen on Knight.

And it appears the Robins are firmly among that group, as they look to look to strengthen ahead of the 2023-24 season.

Oxford United are closing in on a deal for midfielder Josh McEachran, according to reports.

McEachran is a free agent as he leaves relegated MK Dons, with the U’s looking to continue a busy start to the window.
