Wednesday morning's Championship transfer talk news roundup:

Brentford goalkeeper David Raya supposedly has his heart set on a move to Arsenal amid speculation regarding his future.
The Spaniard played every minute of Championship football last term and kept 16 clean sheets from 46 games in the regular season, but the Bees ultimately lost to Fulham in the playoff final.
Raya has previously admitted that he is desperate to play in the Premier League, and according to The Athletic, Arsenal could make the goalkeeper's dream become a reality.
The Gunners may have to prepare for life without Emiliano Martinez, who put in a string of impressive performances for the FA Cup winners during Bernd Leno's time on the sidelines.
Martinez is understood to be after regular first-team football having spent several years as a backup at the Emirates Stadium, and the Argentine will supposedly seek a move elsewhere if he continues to play second fiddle to Leno at Arsenal.
Raya has just under three years left to run on his current deal with Brentford.
Liverpool 'still considering Ismaila Sarr move'

Watford winger Ismaila Sarr has reportedly remained as a transfer target for Liverpool.
Despite their limitations during the summer window, the Premier League champions continue to be linked with a wide range of players ahead of the new campaign.
Although Sarr is said to be on Jurgen Klopp's shortlist, it remains to be seen whether the Merseyside giants are willing to pay his £40m asking price.
However, according to the Liverpool Echo, club officials are yet to make a concrete decision regarding an approach.
Sarr contributed six goals and six assists from 30 appearances during his first campaign with the Hornets, who are happy to cash in on the 22-year-old after their relegation from the Premier League.
While Wolverhampton Wanderers have also been linked with Sarr, they are now being credited with interest in other players.
