Sports Mole rounds up all of the latest transfer news in the Championship on Saturday, September 5.

Saturday morning's Championship transfer talk news roundup:


Tottenham Hotspur-linked Joshua King talks up Manchester United move

Bournemouth forward Joshua King has revealed that he would be interested in returning to Manchester United during this summer's transfer window.

The Norwegian was strongly linked with a move to Old Trafford in January, but United could not agree a fee with Bournemouth and ultimately brought Nigeria international Odion Ighalo to the club on loan.

Tottenham Hotspur are allegedly in talks with King's agent over the possibility of signing him this summer.

However, the 28-year-old - out of contract at the Vitality Stadium next June - has said that it would be "amazing" if United were still keen to re-sign him.

"I will not lie, because I really wanted to go there in January, but what happened, happened. I know why things happened. We'll just have to wait and see. There is a lot that is open," King told TV2.

"I have a dream to play in the Champions League. Whether it will happen this season or in two years, I do not know. But I have a dream about it that all boys have. What if United are still interested? That would be amazing. I was at United for five years and I learned lot there."

King represented the Red Devils between 2008 and 2013 but only made two first-team appearances before moving on.



Tottenham Hotspur 'offered Callum Wilson, Darwin Nunez'

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been presented with the opportunity to sign two strikers ahead of the new campaign.

While three players have already arrived at the North London outfit, manager Jose Mourinho is keen to strengthen in the final third over the coming weeks.

According to The Express, Spurs have been offered Bournemouth forward Callum Wilson and Almeria striker Darwin Nunez.

With the Cherries having been relegated from the Premier League, Wilson is allegedly available for a fee in the region of £17m.

Meanwhile, 21-year-old Nunez netted 16 goals from 30 appearances in Spain's second division last season.

Spurs are allegedly unable to proceed with a deal for either player until they sell at least one first-team player.
