Couldn’t find a rumours page for other clubs but apparently Parma, Lazio, Everton and Wolves are rumoured to be interested in Millwall striker Mihailo Ivanonic

You imagine they'd make a big profit on him if he does go.

Unfortunately I agree 

DyerConsequences said:

Looks like the incoming Norwich striker will be replacing Borja Sainz. Apparently they've agreed to sell him to Porto.

Fee is around 15m apparently.

Interesting statement from the Hull owner about their transfer embargo issues...

The latest HITCSevens video about them was some grand black comedy, nothing about this letter will surprise me

You don't get a 3 window embargo unless the situation is a lot more serious than he implies. 

Fair play, makes sense for all parties

Oxford have signed Defender Brodie Spencer from Huddersfield for an undisclosed fee.

Ipswich have signed former Wigan, West Brom, Cardiff and Corby Town defender Cedric Kipre on loan from Reims (French 2nd tier).

Millwall have signed Zak Sturge on a permanent deaal from Chelsea.

Well happy with that. Had him on loan for half a dozen games last season. Great player with bags of potential.

I’ll do a survey of the millwall fans I speak to over the next week and let u know if he’s any good - I don’t think u should be trusting your own opinion
