Sports Mole rounds up the Championship transfer news from the past week.

Following last week's formal opening of the transfer window, clubs in the Championship have been busy over the past week and here, Sports Mole rounds up the activity of all 24 teams.

Birmingham City

After doing plenty of business at the start of the summer, Lee Clark has expressed his delight at the several new arrivals at St Andrew's.

Although not fresh transfer news, it was revealed over the past week that Birmingham almost signed breakout Colombian World Cup star James Rodriguez for £3m six years ago.

Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn's star man Jordan Rhodes is no longer the most expensive player ever bought by a Championship club after Leeds United sold Ross McCormack to Fulham for a whopping £11m.

There is set to be plenty of interest in Rhodes this summer and Blackburn reportedly want £10m if they are to part with him.

One striker who didn't do so well at Ewood Park is David Goodwillie, who has now moved back to Scotland with Aberdeen.

Blackpool

The Thomas Ince transfer saga finally ended yesterday when the England Under-21 international signed for Premier League club Hull City. Blackpool did offer him a new contract, but it was no surprise to see the forward opt for Hull.

One arrival and one other departure at Bloomfield Road in the past week, with Estonian striker Sergei Zenjov joining the Tangerines, while goalkeeper Matt Gilks left for Burnley.

Bolton Wanderers

Dougie Freedman managed to sign one of his old Crystal Palace players in Dean Moxey, but missed out on another in Jonathan Parr, who instead opted to join Ipswich Town.

Tim Ream also signed a new contract with the Trotters, but Marvin Sordell has gone to Burnley.

Bournemouth

The Cherries finally got their man by landing striker Callum Wilson from Coventry City. As part of the deal, Bournemouth agreed to send Ryan Allsop and Mohamed Coulibaly to the Sky Blues on loan.

Eddie Howe is also believed to be interested in Cork City youngster Brian Lenihan.

Brentford

The chance of re-signing George Saville on loan from Chelsea looks slim as Premier League club Sunderland are thought to be sniffing around the midfielder.

The Bees were also beaten to Callum Wilson's signature and lost Luke Norris to Gillingham, despite offering him a new contract.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Sami Hyypia continues to do his business quietly at the Amex. The Seagulls have been one of the shyest clubs so far this summer, but did have a bid for Bristol City striker Sam Baldock rejected by the Robins.

One positive is the fact that young midfielder Jake Forster-Caskey has signed a new three-year contract on the South Coast.

Cardiff City

Cardiff are expected to lose one of their most valuable assets after Queens Park Rangers agreed a fee to take Steven Caulker to West London. They might also have to sell goalkeeper David Marshall if Southampton step up their interest.

If Marshall does move to the South Coast, Jose Fonte could come the other way as a replacement for Caulker. One other piece of news, with Don Cowie on his way out after turning down a new contract.

Charlton Athletic

The Addicks might be about to lose a midfielder with teenage prospect Diego Poyet on the verge of joining West Ham United, but they have brought in a replacement by signing Franck Moussa on a free transfer.

Following his release at the end of last season, Jordan Cook has found a new club by making the move to Walsall.

Derby County

The Rams will have been over the moon to tie down midfielder Craig Bryson after rejecting a bid from Burnley earlier this summer.

Steve McClaren is also thought to have been impressed by Algeria captain Madjid Bougherra at the World Cup and could offer the free agent a contract.

Fulham

The Cottagers finally got their man by landing Ross McCormack from Leeds United earlier today. The 27-year-old was the top scorer in the Championship last season, but the £11m fee is thought to be a bit steep.

Another arrival was Swiss defender Kay Voser, while new deals were secured for Jesse Joronen and Stephen Arthurworry.

Huddersfield Town

Not much to report from the John Smith's Stadium, but the Terriers are thought to have turned down Middlesbrough's approach for midfielder Adam Clayton.

Ipswich Town

After much speculation, the Tractor Boys lost their most valuable asset when West Ham United swooped to sign Aaron Cresswell.

Blues boss Mick McCarthy didn't wait long to replace the left-back, with Jonathan Parr agreeing a two-year contract after his release by Crystal Palace. A new goalkeeper is also thought to be high on McCarthy's wishlist, with Bartosz Bialkowski and Stephen Henderson thought to be targets.

Leeds United

Top marksman Ross McCormack went to Fulham for £11m. New Whites owner Massimo Cellino has defended the sale and said that McCormack disrespected him in forcing through the move.

With McCormack leaving for such a hefty fee, Leeds fans will expect a big name striker to arrive in his place, but the signs at the moment are that a goalkeeper, defender and midfielder could be on the way from Italy thanks to Cellino's Serie A links. Veteran keeper Stuart Taylor also came in this week and should be backup to whoever the new stopper is next season.

Middlesbrough

Marvin Emnes completed his move to Swansea City, but Boro might be getting a new striker from the top flight if they go after Danny Graham.

The Teesside club added former Real Madrid goalkeeper Tomas Mejias on a two-year contract, while manager Aitor Karanka is hopeful that he can re-sign Kenneth Omeruo on loan after his impressive displays at the World Cup with Nigeria.

Karanka has been a lot busier and reportedly saw bids rejected for Huddersfield's Adam Clayton and Genk striker and captain Jelle Vossen.

Millwall

Ian Holloway is keeping his cards close to his chest, with little rumour surrounding the South-East London club. Former defender Jack Smith today linked up with AFC Wimbledon after his release earlier this summer.

The Lions were said to be interested in ex-Chelsea man Sam Hutchinson, but he instead chose to return to former loan club Sheffield Wednesday.

Norwich City

After losing Robert Snodgrass to Hull City, the next man who could be on his way to the Premier League is Gary Hooper, with QPR thought to be keen on the former Celtic frontman.

Nottingham Forest

There has been reported Premier League interest in two of Forest's star youngsters this week, with QPR having a bid turned down for Jamaal Lascelles, while Arsenal are believed to have entered the race for young goalkeeper Karl Darlow.

Reading

The Royals' takeover by a Thai investor should be completed this week and then the club can start flexing its muscles in the transfer market having done little so far this summer.

Rotherham United

The busiest of any club this summer, Rotherham didn't do any business last week for once. The Millers did reportedly approach Middlesbrough for Richie Smallwood, but were rebuffed in their efforts.

Sheffield Wednesday

It looks like there will be a new number one at Hillsborough next season following the arrival of Keiren Westwood. Chris Kirkland has also put pen to paper on a new contract, but will probably have to be content with a place on the bench next season.

One other permanent deal for the Owls this week, with former loanee Sam Hutchinson agreeing a two-year contract after his release from Chelsea.

Watford

Daniel Toszer has joined the Hornets again on loan, this time for two years from Parma with the option of a permanent deal at the end.

Giuseppe Sannino has also expressed his interest in signing former AC Milan man Massimo Ambrosini.

Wigan Athletic

The Latics have confirmed the release of five players, including Chilean international Jean Beausejour, who recently scored at the World Cup. Also on their way are Stephen Crainey, Markus Holgersson, Jordan Mustoe and Adam Buxton.

Wolverhampton Wanderers

Kenny Jackett recently admitted that he was keeping tabs on promising Dundee United teenager Ryan Gould, who has made the bold move to Sporting Lisbon.

Jackett did manage to secure the immediate future of Jake Cassidy by agreeing a one-year extension with the striker.
