Wednesday morning's Championship transfer talk news roundup:

Leeds United are reportedly weighing up a move for out-of-favour Tottenham Hotspur defender Juan Foyth during the summer transfer window.
The Argentine has fallen down the pecking order at Spurs under Jose Mourinho and was restricted to just four Premier League appearances during the 2019-20 campaign.
According to The Sun, newly-promoted Leeds are hoping to strike a deal for Foyth, who could be available for a reasonable figure of £15m.
The report claims that Marcelo Bielsa is keen to link up with his Argentine compatriot, and the Whites will attempt to sign Foyth regardless of whether or not Ben White pens a permanent deal at Elland Road.
White formed a key part of Bielsa's defence whilst on loan at Leeds from Brighton & Hove Albion, but the Seagulls are supposedly reluctant to part ways with the £20m-rated defender.
Foyth has just under two years left to run on his current deal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Tottenham have swooped to sign teenager Alfie Devine from Wigan for an undisclosed fee.
The exciting 15-year-old, who is an England youth international, has been brought to the Premier League club, which will raise important funds for the Latics' battle with administration.
Devine is seen as one of the best prospects at the DW Stadium having impressed for their under-18 side on their run to the FA Youth Cup, where they beat Spurs along the way.
The midfielder, who was previously released by Liverpool, caught the attention of the north London club and has now completed a permanent transfer.

A Wigan statement read: "Wigan Athletic midfielder Alfie Devine has completed a permanent transfer for Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur.
"Devine, 15, has starred for England's under-16 side on the international stage and was part of Latics' record-breaking U18s this season as Peter Murphy's side reached the quarter-finals of the FA Youth Cup for the first time in the club's history.
"We wish Alfie well in his future career."
Wigan were relegated on the final day of the Championship season, but are appealing their 12-point deduction for entering administration.
Tottenham Under-18s coach Matt Taylor said: "Alfie comes to us hungry to develop and make progress, just like the 10 young men who have moved up from our under-16s this year.
"It's an exciting time for these players as they start this new chapter in their lives as full-time employees of the football club and begin to understand what's expected of them, taking on board the DNA of Tottenham Hotspur."
